Honestly it's kind of infuriating how many people were drawing conclusions after barely watching the show, or the many people that clearly never bothered to watch at all and based their entire opinions exclusively on social media ragebait. And this no doubt also contributed a lot to poor viewer stats.

The show wasn't excellent by any means, it could've been so much better, but I didn't feel like it was that bad as a lot of people made it seem like. And it definitely needs one to watch the entirety of it before drawing any conclusions considering the story and character developments.

Good example was people complaining about the fact that Carrie-Anne Moss's character being killed off within 5 minutes in the first episode, yet they didn't even bother to think about or wait for the fact that she could appear in more episodes through flashbacks. Clearly the show was made around misguiding viewers and infamous "subverting expectations".

It's a shame the show has to end this way, but at least the main story about the twins feels semi-complete. But unfortunately also a lot of open endings still, which are maybe better left like this, or perhaps wrapped up in novels or something.

That's about right. It was mediocre. Which is to say, I had fun watching it with my kid. They introduced a solid villain. I hate to see that story dropped.

They introduced a solid villain only at the end.

It would be like Star Wars where you don't see Vader until the trench run.

I'm talking about Manny Jacinto's character, who was there through the whole season.
