The first season was very promising, the cast was performing well, the story was believable (to some degree) and full of background stories such as Alex was trained by his father for example but the viewer was left hanging why exactly.
But then we get to season 2, the cast acting drops huge time and the story goes something like a boomer came in and wrote a script of what he thinks that teenagers like to see. Let's make it about a villain that creates video games, a sidekick woman that comes straight from a horror movie and offcoarse, lets involve the president of the USA and somehow glue that story to season 1 but don't bother to make that glue believable. No more complex stories and where Alex, a character that has been secretly trained and can withstand torture, suddenly changed into some classic Hollywood teen drama queen.
It's like season 8 of game of thrones, a huge potential being wasted.
