So you didnt like the show. Many did. But don't act like you know what's going on in the minds of others. You clearly don't.

BTW, one of the best shows (season 1) ever created.
Genius collaboration of writing, direction, acting, location and DP work. The lack of exposing the entire conspiracy is critical to the payoff. It is critical to the entire theme of the story. If you don't get that, perhaps you are the one lacking imagination or comprehension. Don't put that on others.

Marty and Russ played their piece of it and came out transformed. Yes, it was a great character study, but the overall themes were powerful. Kind of like a great novel, but done as a serialized film. Magnificent and terrifying.

I did like it but it didn't come close to paying off as promised. The ending fizzled

We had EXTENSIVE threads on this board, which is what I'm basing my comments on. This isn't mind reading. People voluntarily posted their thoughts.

It never committed to either path and ultimately failed at both because of this. Hence, the fizzle.
