The writing took a nose dive imho. I barely got through the first episode, the dialogue one time seems like it's been pulled from Duke Nuke'em, the other time straight from a soap opera where they keep switching places around and talk about their feelings. The actors left me the impression that they're just going through the motions and gave up, and the story feels all over the place with no direction.

It's a genuine talent Netflix has for the absolute shit scripts they push. The Frontier is another example of an okay-ish first season (it wasn't a great show by any means but I was mildly optimistic) and then season 2-3 straight bad.

They dump all their money into making it look pretty and absolutely fuck all on writing. I've given up on them.

same with Altered carbon, season 1 was pretty dope, for the second season they hired writers from the CW for it, it was crap
