Could have been great
3 November 2020
First season was great. Great characters, very interesting and complex characters, very gray. Although it was a slow burn, it kept you engaged.

You can stop right there because the second season falls off a cliff. First of all, it's clear there were diversity quotas since they shove in a bunch of new characters and EVERY SINGLE one of them is "diverse". It's not full on woke, yet, but it's starting to look like it.

Unfortunately, every time I've seen blatant diversity shoved in, the story suffers. This is the case here as well. In the second season gone are the characters we knew, no one acts like themselves anymore. Major character plot threads are not explained, the writers perform giant leaps to get them where they want them to be, but it doesn't feel authentic.

It's clear that this was supposed to be a 1 season show and everything from season 2 on is forced.

See just the 1st season, that at least is worth it.
