The Plot Flatlined, but the Immortals Kept Breathing
Feud starts off with a bang – mystery, layered characters, and the kind of intrigue that makes you think you're in for something great. But the moment the curtain lifts, the illusion crumbles. Every “big reveal” is painfully predictable, and when the actual main twist drops… it’s laughably ridiculous. Not shocking, not clever – just absurd enough to make you question why you were ever invested.
Then comes the immortality loophole – used, abused, and milked dry. Fake deaths, dramatic near-ends, emotional farewells... only for them to pop right back up like it's just another Tuesday. We get it – they’re immortal. But if no one truly dies, what exactly are we supposed to care about? By the tenth “surprise” resurrection, the stakes are gone, the tension is dead, and so is our patience.
This show juggles so many storylines it could easily spawn three separate dramas, but instead of weaving them together, it just tosses them in a blender and hopes for a masterpiece. Spoiler: it’s not. It’s chaos in a pretty package – spiraling into a repetitive mess that recycles the same conflict in slightly altered settings with new outfits and background props. Nothing evolves. It’s just a prettier version of déjà vu.
Midway, the writers attempt to inject philosophical weight – long-winded arguments about humanity’s suffering vs the gods’ rigid order. While the theme could’ve been powerful, it feels far beyond the show’s scope. It’s surface-level depth pretending to be profound, and it shows.
The real tragedy here? The acting. The cast delivers with full conviction – grief, rage, conflict, tenderness – it’s all there. You can see them clawing at something more meaningful, trying to give weight to paper-thin lines and stretched logic. They deserve better than the script handed to them. Watching brilliant performances drown in this mess is almost more painful than the plot itself.
Feud is all spectacle, no soul – a drama that mistook immortality for immunity from bad writing, and in doing so, proved that even gods can be boring if you script them badly enough. It had the bones of brilliance but ended up a shiny, overhyped mess that mistakes complexity for confusion. What could’ve been an epic tale of gods, fate, and morality is reduced to a glittery loop of recycled drama – ambitious in scale, but hollow at its core.
