IT’S OVER!!! I AM FREE OF THIS SELF-MADE PRISON OF MEDIOCRITY!!!

(I found the finale’s title fitting: The Stockholm Syndrome)

I wonder if they had to pay Ronald Moore for borrowing his character. A couple interesting ideas surrounded by a sea of sci-fi cliches.

Sigh. Talk about ending with a whimper.

Not as fun as it looked.

It wasn’t terrible, but what a weird meta ending.

Andrew Scott was the lone high point.

I thought the beginning was fun, unique, and full of potential, but then it tanked into a nonsensical mess.

More of the same.

A reaction to Lost. Mystery box show focused on answering the questions quickly. The other edge of that sword is that they keep having to come up with new boxes every 4 episodes, which prevented any feeling of momentum. That said, it is a pretty inventive, family-centered series with likeable characters.

An interesting arc, but the slow pacing continues to prevent the humor from sparking.

There were a few things to like about the final season, despite how horribly rushed it was, and how it failed to stick the landing in any believable way.

It’s silly fun. Best part was singing The Neverending Story.

There is a big, Rick-shaped hole in the show. It feels scattered and unfocused. The Whisperers are cool at times, but the show just falls back on unearned shocks and the thinnest character beats.

Absurdist sketch comedy at its finest.

The show might’ve been better off ending after its superb first season, but this was not a terrible time spent with a cool character. Its highs were not as high, though its lows were not as low (Kilgrave support group). At least it seemed like it knew it would be ending, and didn’t leave us on some cliffhanger.

Felt like a re-tread of Watchmen (the comic), Kickass, and Preacher to start, but started to find its own beat in the second half. Not as clever as it thinks it is.

Past seasons have had better guest stars, but Spencer built a fun, imaginative arc for our heroes this season, and Dan got to play TWO characters.

Enjoyable. The story pivots in the last couple eps in ways that felt rushed and unmotivated, but all-in-all, it’s an interesting world with fun adventures.

While it was an interesting and thought-provoking diversion, the main arc this season was yet ANOTHER diversion from the story it’s been teasing since episode ONE, and I’m growing frustrated. I also found the intimate conversations from Season One to be more compellingly watchable than the investigation of Season Two.

Though it did find some meaty threads toward the end, I found myself frequently wishing for Jemaine and Taika to be in front of the camera instead of behind it.

With the notable exception of a handful of quieter scenes, usually centered on family, I found the dialogue to be painfully flat and perfunctory. In stark contrast to Game of Thrones or this year’s Watchmen, the world-building was often rushed and bludgeoning, and I rarely felt like these were real people inhabiting it. If not for the marvelously paced and written finale, I was just about ready to write this version off entirely, even as a fan of the original books.

A lovable agent of chaos.
