[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not loving the big time leaps. In one episode it’s pre vaccines, masks everywhere, and then like 2 episodes later Dobbs is leaked (June 2022).

Time is moving on but the characters aren’t evolving in any way and still seem to be stuck in dynamics from a year earlier…. it’s like they want to keep the characters the same but they want the news cycle to jump so they can cover different things but it just doesn’t feel organic to me. [/quote]

That episode pre-vaccines was a flashback episode. All the episodes this season except that one have taken place in the same few months in 2022. That was a flashback to show us what happened between Bradley & Laura, Mia & her BF, and then some back story on Cory and Stella and UBA during the height of the pandemic and J6.[/quote]

Ah ok then makes sense. I’m used to binging shows and I’m watching this one weekly as it comes out and it’s really throwing me. If they do any more seasons I’m going to wait until I can watch a bunch of episodes at once.

I get it, I also find some of it confusing because they are setting it in the recent past which is still pretty vivid for most of us, and even jumping around a little is confusing. Also the flashback episode covered a huge amount of time in one episode. I think almost a year (March 2020 to February/March of 2021, since they get into the aftermath of J6). Whereas most episodes will cover just a handful of days. So the shift in pacing is a bit disorienting too, especially since they jumped from March 2020 all the way 2022 between Seasons 2 and 3. By comparison, Seasons 1 and 2 were fairly sequential with more similar pacing.[/quote]
