Season 1 starts the show off as a traditional drama similar to The Good Wife but it morphs into an absurdist comedy that takes real issues and stretches them beyond the limits of credibility. The self awareness that they've gone completely insane akin to Scandal lets them lean hard into it and create something fresh and unique. Looking forward to the crazy things they'll do in season 6.

I don't understand the hate for season 4. It's not just about the tech industry but also about the characters. They literally come out and say it in a roundabout way in the final season. If you don't want to see imperfect and slightly over the top characters push and pull against each other then this isn't for you. If you stuck around for 3 seasons then you want to see them evolve, overcome some of their flaws and challenges, and have a reasonable path forward after the show ends. IMO the final season delivers on all of that.

I came to this late well after it was canceled and I can see why it was. The idea is interesting but the execution bombed because it's spread too thin across too many uncompelling characters. It could've been something if they focused more on the core family. Acker and Moyer are legit actors and should've carried the show. It's also weird for Marvel to have Runaways going at the same time so you've got two teenage powered mutant shows with just slightly different premises.
