The last 2 seasons were a convoluted mess


I binged the entire run in about 2 weeks. It was fresh in my head, and I still had to think too hard about the mess in the last 2 seasons. It was still pretty good, but I couldn't keep up with who was working for who, who was doing what, and exactly why were they doing it. They put so much into the story that I think they got lost in the writing and left loose threads all over the place

Taitiana Maslany did an excellent job in the multiple roles. She did a great job differentiating the personalities and mannerisms of the characters. Wardrobes and make-up help, but she was truly a beast in this show.

--What happened to Angela and Vic. They just sorta disappeared.
--I never quite got who Paul worked for. Seemingly a bitch for everyone.
--Mika (MK) stole over 3Mil from Ferninand. He killed her, but where is that money.
--What purpose did it serve to kill off S. It made no difference in the story.
--We never found out about Kira's seemingly special abilities.
--If Dyad sent out "monitors" for the clones, did all 270 of them have one? That a lot of work.
--Krystal's coincidental link to her sestra's never made much sense, and what happened to her.

It was always rather convoluted. I honestly had trouble following the story pretty early on. Its a funny show that Maslany is fantastic in, but it's quite messy. One Max Headroom died and it went military, it got super confusing. He seemed like the leader of it all, but has nothing to do with it in the gran scheme of things. I still can't even comprehend who Ferdinand is and where exactly he came from.

I never watched the last season. Tried a few times and the show just lost it's magic for me.
