I think this season has alternated between “pretty good” and “pretty cringe” on an a scene to scene basis
I feel the exact same way. One thing I’ve noticed, is it really feels like they are trying for the shock factor now, rather than writing the story of a revolution that will naturally have tragedy. They did the same “person is shot off screen but they made it obvious anyways” thing with Brasso and just repeated it, which felt lazy and formulaic.
probably as a result of them condensing and excerpting four planned seasons down to one.
Which is weird because the first 3 episodes felt like a lot of filler. It certainly feels rushed, like they didn’t take their time to pace out the show properly, unlike the first season. Episodes 4-6 were so much better.

I agree so much. A lot of the characters don’t really have arcs but just react to events thrown at them.
