Deerfest

I go back and forth on souring on the show and then loving it. It is a good that with the season finale they got me back on track to loving it.

A good ending that let us know the machine is at least a little magic (until we learn more) and that it is not as simple as giving out cards with one or two words on them.

The right balance of comedy and addressing the relationship flaws here, but I feel like they're forcing fighting between Dusty and Cass unnecessarily. At the top of the ferris wheel after the good story around the puffins did it really make sense for Dusty to tease them potentially taking a break?

Didn't answer and questions, only set up season 2

This series is odd to me. They billed it as this mysterious machine that tells you your destiny, and no one knows where it came from. I thought "they gotta answer that question right? At some point?" But no, they actually don't. The whole season is about the intertwined lives of the local town, and the mysterious machine is a side thought. I'll admit, the personal stories and the intertwined lives were somewhat interesting, but most of the time I just didn't care. And also, is this supposed to be a comedy? No real laughs from this either. Mostly just sad really. If I had to describe this show in one word, it would be "meh". Maybe they'll finally tell us what's up with the machine in season 2? Who knows if they'll even make a season 2.
