For example, I truly dislike “Seinfeld”. I think it is unfunny and mean-spirited. But considering its place in the comedic landscape, I would never say it’s an “average” sitcom. It’s one I don’t like but it obviously appeals to many others so I’m willing to accept that there is something significant there - it just doesn’t work for me.

I wouldn’t say “I don’t understand why people are going crazy for it”…like I see something they don’t.

This goes for all kinds of things I don’t care for - wine, sports, cooking, jazz music, etc.

It was pretty clear that outside of David's enforcers, the rest of the townspeople only gathered when David deemed it ok (mealtimes, services) and otherwise they remained in their respective homes so they would stay protected (and controlled and ignorant of things like their fellow humans being used for food). This wasn't a walled-off thriving community like Jackson where people were able to just mill around safely and David clearly used the constant threat of potential danger to his advantage. That was surely extra true when the townspeople knew the enforcers had gone out to find the very dangerous man that had already killed one of their own. I had no problem accepting that no townspeople would be showing up until David had given them the all-clear that the threats had been neutralized - or even accepting that they never leave their own homes anyway outside of the designated times provided by the leadership for mealtimes or specific tasks.
