I’m amazed season two wasn’t already finished before the strike. The last episode aired in 2022. What were they doing all year?

    I got a little lost following the plot with this one to be honest. There are some shows I whip out my phone because I don’t anticipate it being that complicated, and I made a miscalculation with this one.

      Yeah, I think it’s a bit easier to digest if you have some background with Gibson’s world building. It didn’t seem like it was too opaque to me, but I’m coming in with a bit of previous context. I think you’d find that Gibson’s writing is a lot more opaque when you start one of his books. He writes notoriously short chapters at times and tosses from one POV to another rather often. It can be disorienting but it is intentional. Like when you watch a thriller that seems inchoate going in, flooding you with disparate unresolved information, then when it’s snaps together, you get the satisfaction of mentally revisiting all those previous clues/details with that “ah ha!” feeling. I believe it’s meant to work this way. It’s a more satisfying reward for the reader/watcher.
