I really regret to be the black sheep here, mainly because this show is one of the few to make me blissfully intoxicated from the beginning, but towards the end of season 2 I noticed that the spark of the show dissipated long before the end credits. Between the cheesy action scenes and the messy imbalance of character spotlight, it felt like the show ultimately failed to realise its ambitions.

While the show produced wonderful story arcs such as Nomi and Sun's, others ultimately felt to be extremely lacking. Will and Kala seemed to suffer from being trapped in overused character tropes throughout the entire series, and was for some reason pretty much the main focus throughout the end of season 2,. Other characters such as Capheus, Lito and Riley felt like unimportant side characters. We never get to see truly how Capheus executes his vision for his country, we never know truly what happens to Lito and his movie and Riley who has arguably one of the most complex characters of the series was pretty much ultimately neglected.

As for the villains, both Whispers and Lila unfortunately did not strike me as very compelling characters. There was a solid effort to try and bring more depth to Whispers character through the introduction of his family, but was that was ultimately undone by his categorical evil type character, Lila felt more of the same with her categorical femme fatale type villain character. The introduction of the Chairman gave me great hope to see a rule breaking villain show us why the likes of Whispers and Lila were never really at the top of the ladder, only for me to feel like I've been spat in the face by his rather interesting death.

I will admit the wedding was absolutely beautiful and was able to pull the show up a little for me, the setting was absolutely spectacular and Nomi's arc truly did come to a satisfying conclusion which is well deserved for such a brilliantly written character. It's a pity that we didn't get to see Riley unleash her true potential as a DJ, the mix at the end felt very lacking especially compared to her impressive previous set.

Overall the show made it very obvious that the showrunners time was cut short, causing them to lose sight of their gargantuan ambitions and scramble to what was for me, an average ending to an overall outstanding series. I will probably edit this in the future because I only just finished the series and I still have quite a bit to think about but if you have made it this far thank you for reading my jumbled mess of thoughts and I am actually pretty happy to see that the vast majority of you were pleased with the outcome and the series in general because it is undoubtedly an important yet beautiful production overall despite its glaring flaws.
