Comparison:
The last one had the element of surprise, which kept things shocking for a while in a way that was honestly a bit distracting and roller coaster-y, like when a detective show gives you the cliffhanger just before it streams right through to the next episode
Susan Matthews from Slate notes that "Season One" of the DJT show from 2016 to 2020 carried with it an odd facination. "Season Two" may be less so. Some roller coasters wear out before others! Don't buy tickets for a faulty ride (or any ride for that matter).
Context:
The problem is that Season 2—or whatever season we are in at this point—is going to be much worse in so many key ways compared to the last one. The last one had the element of surprise, which kept things shocking for a while in a way that was honestly a bit distracting and roller coaster-y, like when a detective show gives you the cliffhanger just before it streams right through to the next episode. So we all watched and watched because it was ever-present and just a little bit titillating.
