This story gets off to a strong start and has mystery on many levels and interesting characters.
SPOILERS STARTING:
At first it's "interesting" looking through the eyes of a madman, and the dialogue gives good insights regarding mental health, whether it's day-to-day stuff, or grief, or mental illness.
The existential dread starts to wear thin by ep 4...in fact, just skip that episode. It's all angst-y and philosophizing -- I actually LIKE that sort of thing but it goes ooooonnn and oooonnn and oooonnn, and does absolutely nothing to propel the story or further explain the main character's motives. We've already been given plenty of info about "who he is" in the previous eps, this one you can just toss. I give it 1 star but 7-8 for the seasons and episodes prior to this.
I haven't actually finished the whole season, I've been bingeing and ran out of time. However, I just finished ep 4 and it was so belaboured (in fact, I had to FF through most of it cuz it NOTHING was happening) and I just had to pop in here and advise not losing 50ish minutes of your life that you'll never get back.
I'm assuming that episode was an anomaly and the the rest will resume the calibre of the first few eps. I'll report back if it doesn't.
