7/10
Great Series, Lame Ending

Warning: Spoilers
Season 1 - 9/10

Strong 1st season had me hooked all the way trough! The actors do an incredible job paired with the good writing,directing and you have yourself a banger of a show.

Season 2 - 10/10

Much more character nuance than the first season complemented with superb acting. The stakes escalate higher and it's impossible to not give credit to the surprising climactic finale and all the interwoven ways it tackles the overall topic of the season. Smith,Juliana and Frank threads are very interesting. This show deserves more recognition.

Season 3 - 9/10

Season three was enjoyable and pretty much in line in terms of quality with the previous two. By the time you get to the end you do feel like maybe they could have covered more ground. As per usual the season ends on a cliff-hanger, with several major events taking place, and that will surely keep you hooked. This season was a bit faster paced and there is a bit more action.

Season 4 - 3/10

Seasons 1-3 were very strong seasons then came season 4, what can i say it was disappointing, really rushed and not a satisfying ending. They killed or written off most of the main characters, and the few that remained, except for Smith, were put in the background, while this new group of "black communist" appear out of nowhere and save the day somehow. There was no leadup how the BCR just overcame the Japanese so quickly, no buildup of their group compared to the resistance who had a storyline and progressed to defeating their occupiers while the BCR didn't have so much development throughout the series.
