Whether through lazy writing or executive meddling, they turned one of their most interesting and thought-provoking series into a farce.
Seasons 1-3 had some issues, pacing being probably the most glaring, but they still revolved around character development and how individuals can impact the world, etc.
Enter Season 4. Not only is the best (arguably) character in the show unceremoniously killed-off, but we are introduced to a ridiculous "new" resistance group, the BCR. Now, given that this is an alternative history story, I suppose that the communists of the MITHC universe probably weren't responsible for the deaths of around a hundred million people, but they certainly are in our universe.
Shameful woke pandering aside, the finale is just an utter disaster. This show was about character development. It was focused on how normal people behave and what motivates them. Aside, maybe (?), for Kido, the audience is left with absolutely no closure or sense of pay-off. This isn't some deep thought piece, it's lazy storytelling.
In the end, this is a frustrating and wasted opportunity. If you haven't started, don't and if you have, just walk away.
