The last show of the year is upon us. We are doing something we have never done before. We have covered limited series before. To end the year we also have the return of one of our most asked about guest hosts. It is all killer, no filler this episode as we end things on a strong note.A few weeks back we started following Welcome to Derry. The first two episodes were horrible. Thankfully, the third one improved to just merely bad. We figured that was a good time to take a break from the show. We also knew we would come back to close the whole thing out.It seemed like things would be okay for a couple of shows. They had found their stride. Sure, the CGI was still awful. Yes, the opening credits sucked. Yeah, they kept introducing numerous new subplots every episode. But at least Welcome to Derry was remaining at a consistent level of bad.Then we came to the last three episodes.Everything became progressively worse. Seemingly important characters would disappear then just reappear to progress the story. Important plot points were dropped until the finale. The writing felt like things were being done as the show progressed. And nothing made sense.Don't believe us? That's fair. We spent the whole time talking the show down. The show is made for a newer audience than us. But listen to the people who love the show. Not the ones who just heap praise upon the surface level qualities. The ones who are tying themselves in knots trying to explain what happened in the show. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
