The central investigation is generally easy to follow without becoming simplistic. Reviewers liked that the show avoids needless red herrings while withholding enough character motivation to preserve mystery.
Pros: episode structure, supporting cast performance
Cons: cinematography, sexual content level
The friendship setup gives Alice’s rage a clear emotional engine for some viewers, and one take found the breadcrumbs traceable in hindsight. Others felt the show jumps through relationship milestones...
Pros: directing quality, cast chemistry
Cons: family friendliness, language level
The plotting is a mixed point: some praise a more streamlined story, while others find parts muddled, convenient, or slow to establish their purpose.
Pros: season finale quality, main cast performance
Cons: episode structure, pilot episode quality
Some reviewers found the story easy to follow without a rewatch. Others were distracted by plot holes, implausibly careless Mayday operations, and character decisions that weaken the internal logic.
Pros: supporting cast performance, realism
Cons: family friendliness, sexual content level
The many affairs, business loyalties, family histories, and new characters can be difficult to track. The central Tony-Rupert-Cameron conflict remains clear enough to anchor the chaos.
Pros: score quality, critic appeal
Cons: character consistency, plot clarity
Clarity is the season’s most persistent problem. Critics repeatedly cite plot holes, confusing sci-fi mechanics, unanswered questions, and a sense that too many threads are competing for attention.
Pros: directing quality, production design
Cons: character consistency, continuity
The season can feel messy in ways that do not always help it. Complaints focus on plot holes, missing backstory, and story movement that does not flow clearly enough.
Pros: renewal interest, bingeability
Cons: plot clarity, soundtrack quality
The season can feel overloaded, with too many storylines competing for limited space. One viewer called out unexplained situations and plot holes, making the revenge arc harder to follow.
Pros: world-building, cinematography
Cons: finale satisfaction, season finale quality
