Teacup

The show has a nice plot, a lot of mystery at the beginning however,

Charachters lack intelligence, they take stupid choices, make stupid decisions and the most important they never ask questions among everything weired happening around them.

They try to keep you in shadow with vague answers and vague scenarios, ending the shot at the most important moment when someone is about to explain something

Finding the origin of the problem, then deciding to ignore it and head home instead of dealing with it is one of the problems in this show

It started slow, Im not sure if I ll even reccomend it to anyone since the first 30 minutes are dull scenarios.

At first I was not sure what this was about and stumbled across Teacup when looking for the next From episode. I was intrigued by the opening scene as I enjoy thriller and horror. As the first episode continued it reminded me of Color out of Space where the animals are starting to become aware of a benevolent entity. The continued mystery and gore in episode 2 has definitely left me wanting to know what is happening next. There were also remnants of the Thing in some of the CGI which is one of my favorite movies. I recognized most of the actors from years of watching too much TV and I am enjoying their performances so far.

Overall it has drawn me in and left me wanting more.

It seems like the director put all of the effort into the pilot episode. Well, to be exact, the first 2 episodes are really great, the show starts off very promising and sets up an intriguing and mysterious situation.

We're left wondering what's happening and is it really happening?

But then comes episode 3 and after minute 27, things start to fall apart. As soon as they try making sense and explaining what's going on, all of the magic and excitement and mystery that the first 2 episodes built up evaporates. Because it all becomes so boring and predictable.

Which is a real shame. I really wanted this show to be more, but this isn't Lost. And it certainly isn't From. It's just... bland.

If you're coming off the adrenaline and intrigue of From or the captivating mysteries of Lost, Teacup Series will likely feel like a major letdown. While both of those shows are built around high-stakes tension, deep character development, and intricate plot twists, Teacup Series feels like a pale imitation.

The show starts with a promising premise-mysterious happenings, and an area that seems stuck in an inexplicable loop-but quickly devolves into repetitive scenes with little payoff. Unlike From or Lost, which gradually build suspense through well-constructed story arcs, Teacup Series seems to be treading water, offering more questions than answers without the satisfying sense of discovery. It almost feels like the show is stalling, relying on cheap cliffhangers that lead to nowhere.

As soon as the blue line appeared, I immediately thought of "lost" and "under the dome", two other shows where people are trapped someplace and there is some mysterious danger they must avoid.

This is very poorly written because there are lots of scenes where the simple question of "why" is never asked and that's how they string us along like they have done before.

It's not natural for humans not to ask obvious questions.

It takes more than some spooky music to not notice how lazy the writing is.

This show has potential because of the tension between the characters but the isolation/mystery element is just another run at an island or a dome.

I'll still watch it but the slow pace won't keep my attention for too long. It's too boring at this pace, and I am not as dumb as they must take me for.
