Baywatch confuses "subtle" with "the cast forgot to act".

If exposition were a contact sport, Baywatch would be banned for life.

The script for Baywatch feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

If Baywatch was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Baywatch actually is?
Everyone praising the Baywatch performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Baywatch?
Just got out of Baywatch and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Baywatch's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Baywatch last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
