I liked the idea of the show, the Actors are amazing and it is shot well. I'm also a big fan of Ellen Page.
I've been watching from Episode 1 Season 1 to Episode 7 Season 2. The biggest problem for me is there is no payoff and things get worse and worse. The characters become more depressed, more bad stuff happens, more sadness, more loss, and all for nothing. Its a really depressing show to watch. Why would I want to watch a show were things get worse and worse for the characters I grow to like? Will it ever get better for them? I'm almost 3 seasons in and so far its gotten worse for them so I gave up on it. Not only that but I have a feeling the writers are going to do some "it was all a dream" bs for the ending.
Then you have the trope of bringing multiple characters back from the dead more than twice. This is ok to do it once or twice for an entire series but if you do this constantly its seems like bad writing.
Compare this to "The Boys" for example, there is some sad parts but they are redeemed and justice follows. There are huge payoffs and things get better for the characters as the show goes on.
TLDR; I really wanted to like this show too but its just wayyyy to depressing and the good guys seem to never win.
