What did they do?

Warning: Spoilers
What were they thinking this second season was dreadful, it started off great but then after the midway point it takes a nosedive into the bottom of a trash bin. It started off so good with the Investers being powerful and I actually felt like thy were a organisation which would be hard to get rid. The return of Sean Wallace was brilliant, even though I would have saved that reveal until the back half of the series. From there it was Sean vs the Investers, but after episode 5 it became Sean vs Elliot and the investers vanished. After the midway point some very daft and stupid betrayals happened which just didnt feel right. Sean betraying Lale for a business deal with Asif and the worst of all Marian betraying her own sons so she can become on top of London's gangs. Sean teaming up with Koba was a good twist but Koba just became a side goon after that.

Now to the actual review of the season finale, it was DREAD. It was a hard watch. First of all Koba dying from a poisoned burger was just dreadful. Then you have the Sean vs Elliot fight which Elliot won again, it would have been better for Sean to come out on top as Elliot almost killed him at the end of the last season. Then Elliot doesnt kill Sean but Sean ends up in Jail. Thats not even the worst part Elliot becomes the king of London's gangs and Asif teams up with Lale, the person who killed his SON. Some of the twists just do not make sense and are just poorly explained.

One more thing, Luan was one of the main focuses of the first half which was brilliant, he's a great character, but after the midway point he's pushed into the back of the queue of all the other characters who want to have shining moments.

I do not know who to route for anymore in this tv series and I do not know how its gonna go from here, just give us more action and well-written plot teists that just make sense.
