    Sounds to me you heard it was supposed to be 5 seasons and started looking for problems.

    You can find plenty of abbreviated and dropped plotlines across the 2nd season. But the last episode really stands out as half-baked.

    The entire series had tons of nothing side characters given unusually deep characterization

    The first season “nothing” characters largely have completed story arcs that begin and end in their 3-episode arcs. More major characters roll through to the end of the season.

    The second season breaks from this pattern in a number of instances. Meanwhile, the cinematography, the special effects, and the choreography really fall of, particularly in the final episode. This was a very obviously rushed end to the series and quite a bit of it breaks heavily from Gilroy’s earlier episode depth and polish.
