Snowpiercer, I’ve never watched a show that went from so good to so bad, so fast

Recently I started watching Snowpiercer, I really enjoyed the Movie and had nothing else to watch so I figured, why not.

I was hooked, the acting performances didn’t feel campy or phoned in, the casting felt right, and the show had a pretty good dark side to it. Its adaptation of the story didn’t feel too far fetched, and it took some risks in what twists and turns it could take.

Overall it was really enjoyable. I had no idea how they could stretch it out for multiple season, and was incredibly surprised by the pace the show was taking. But it didn’t feel rushed, it just never had you sitting for too long on pointless exposition.

Then it got to episode 9. Clearly the writers had no idea where to go with the show. I’ve watched the next three episodes and just, don’t even know if I want to watch anymore. I’ve never seen a show hit so many notes so well, then just fall flat because the story ran out of runway.

I’m trying to avoid spoilers here but how do you have so many things come to light so early in a show and expect it to continue after episode 9? Now everything feels tacked on and just reaching.

Is it even worth continuing?
