I agree with both of you on everything. While the first part of the show was amazing, they really fumbled things with the middle portion up to the end. Even this last episode, while it had a lot of good stuff, kind of felt like "too little too late" and didn't really pack as much of a punch as it could have.

I also really hate how all these people who have done horrendous stuff are just given a pass. It's very frustrating and tonally doesn't make sense. It seems more like it's just convenient to ignore that kind of stuff (shades of abuse in real life maybe?) but very unsatisfying.

I'll give season 2 a shot, but it's going to be on a short leash.
