The whole season people have been leaving low reviews because everyone expected this show to feature a bunch of titans, and they've probably gotten less than five minutes of total screen time in the entire ten hours of airtime.
But the two episodes where Godzilla showed up for more than 15 seconds, boom, great reviews, "This show is back on track!"
I feel like it's glaringly obvious that these creators know exactly what they are doing. They knew their audience was itching for A SERIES featuring state of the art CGI Titan battles. And they gave their audience as tiny of a dose as they could possibly get away with.
The rest of the story in this show is pretty underwhelming. I admit with no shame that I am one of those that was hoping to see some epic Titan battles, and feel like I've been scammed, but I also love Kirk Douglas and tuned in specifically because I saw he was on the cast. However his character is one of the most underwhelming parts of the show for me.
So far, this show doesn't seem to know what it needs to be, but I am hopeful that they were just creating an atmosphere in Season 1, and it will be one of those series where, when you recommend it, you have to tell people that they have to get past S1, because the rest of the show is legendary.
Sadly, if that's the case, they definitely failed to get me deeply invested in any of the characters (besides Godzilla). But I'll keep watching with the hopes that I am right that they were just setting the stage for Godzilla to take on all sorts of new and exciting Titans that we have never seen before.
