Let's just see how many of us can try just not following orders.

In my experience, many issues with a story can be fixed by simply knowing what each and every character wants, and have them actively pursuing that goal at all times. They may or may not themselves know what they want, but the author needs to know.
Many issues with American Primeval would be solved if the writers simply gave some of the side characters a mind of their own, and set them into action. But many characters are acting in service to the plot, and thus, are hardly more than cardboard cutouts. The tension is there because the director wanted tension, not because real people are having legitimate conflicts over getting what they want.

I feel like not enough people have figured out that they're destroying schools on purpose, for every demographic, and that they have been all along. Between underfunding, lunch debt, stochastic mass shootings, vouchers and charters, now immigration raids.
Connect the dots. It's about the obliteration of all learning for all kids.

And I wish they'd do a better job of showing why Mormonism is/was appealing. They're all cranky and crazy and weird and mean in this.
No, Mormons are and were charming. People don't join high demand groups and move across the world because all the members look miserable and the leaders act cutthroat all the time. Really glad they are showing the cutthroat stuff (and they were very much in 1857, which translates into more of a passive aggression today) but also show why people wanted to join.
There are Mormons alive today sick of the passive aggression who would love to go back to that cutthroat time. They hide behind those warm smiles and suits. They are charming AF.
People need to know it's a facade. Such a lost opportunity.

Wishlist: Westerns get popular again but they're all from a primarily indigenous POV.
(This show isn't as fair to the Shoshone and Paiute as I would have liked, but I'm enjoying what it tries to do, and would like more of that, only better. (And less white saviory.))

Fresh in my new situation, free from the toxic person but with the world still burning. Yes, there is plenty to do.
But I'm trying hard to get used to the fact that now I can take it easy when I'm having a bad health day. I'm prepped to hop up at any moment, feeling the pressure to work through my own to do list while I have the chance. But my body drooping and in pain.
It's hard to trust that I'm not going to get a text with another emergency from someone who doesn't understand what an emergency is or that emergencies are supposed to be rare. I try to tell myself this, and am scared to believe.

See also: PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Also, rumination and that dark voice in your head.
I've learned so much by listening to what they have to tell me. They're all trying to keep me safe. And maybe I don't like their answers because I don't have control of a situation, to protect myself so that they don't have to. But sometimes, they teach me that I have more choices than I think, if I'm willing to do difficult things.

Then Brigham's going around saying "This is the place" everywhere he goes, like it's some kind of supervillain catchphrase. Which would be hilarious if they were doing it intentionally and with effect. But they're not.
Really though, it's the characters making the same mistakes with the exact same outcome every time that's so annoying. Also not done intentionally, with effect, but simply because the creators thought the only way to build tension is to have every single person be hostile to every single other person.
Tryna be Game of Thrones but it's not.
I'm just here for the hate watching at this point. And for the Mormons.
