Show: Oh, but we promise it will! Pinky promise!

Me: …
Show: …
Me: That’s it?
Show: What do you mean?
Me: Are you serious? Like that’s not a bad reveal but that’s so lackluster for everything that’s led up to this. What is the final season even gonna be about?

Me: Wait, what? What’s happening after the reveal?
Show: Oh, we’re completely changing genres.

Show: Yeah, didn’t we mention? The reveal itself isn’t dark, girl. But everything after it is about to be one of the darkest and bleakest premises for any narrative ever. You wanted a fun action show for your final season? That’s cute. We’re giving you the fucking Holocaust.
