One dimensional characters and bad writing makes for a predictable, heavy handed, story. Killing pets is shorthand for unredeemable character. Really sad that the new drinking game is "when you see the pasted on diversity character take a drink". But they have to check all the boxes to get greenlit today. This is painful to sit through. I gave it 4 episodes before stopping. I am urging you to skip all these episodes.
Perhaps there is a market for stories that don't make sense ( they are obviously up north because of all the evergreens but it is February or March and they are wearing light jackets on a fall grey day) or misrepresentations ( catholic priest exhorts his flock as if he is a fundamental Baptist preacher). But confirmation bias means if you have hate already formed this will fan it.
