...it becoming extremely stale and losing it's way ala Lost.
My take is that it's ok, but would've been better served as part of an anthology than as a stand alone (multi-season!) show.

I'm as displeased by Game Pass prices going up as everyone else, but this trend I'm seeing of suddenly becoming fans of Lina Khan's absurd perspective is ridiculous. She was wrong, and I would argue that the restrictions her case got put on the merger helped us get to where we are now.

I know what you were going for, but we were really only united in grief/pain and hatred for others. I'm not sure that was a good thing.
We also lost a whole lot of our own freedom for the sake of the illusion of security, which is making things far worse now.
