Still thoroughly compelling television, but I don't think it's earned where it is. It felt like two seasons crammed into one in a lot of ways, and I'm not sure I like where this leaves any of the characters going forward.


I understand that it's rare for a great show to remain as focused as it is at its absolute best; there are only so many Mad Mens, Breaking Bads and The Wires out there, and even those shows have their detractors. But this season felt like it was in a real hurry to expose people like me whose only real familiarity with this character as a comic book villain is through people saying that's what he is in the comment sections.


I just don't know that I'm all that interested in Farouk now trying to stop David with Syd's help; stopping an all powerful supervillain certainly isn't what brought me here. I just wanted to see a thoroughly clever examination of psychosis through a superhero show. I have hope, maybe even faith, but I totally feel like this show got where it is at least a season ahead of schedule.
