The first episode is kind of a perfect episode for how to build excitement about a 'superhero in a small town' story.
The first season in general really builds up the universe in a fantastic manner. The second season is a bit of hit-and-miss but in general really well done with Saxa and Magne's actors both shining brilliantly there and their romance giving the season a really nice touch (a bit like what happens in the later seasons of Sex Education).
The third season however. Well, it starts with a 10-min voiceover recap of a year of events which just indicates that this is going to be real bad. Then the story goes through a storyline leading absolutely nowhere until midway through the second to last episode a twist happens and we are all back to where the story is ultimately going. Until the last 10 min happen, when there is a HUGE twist and we are told that Magne is a paranoid schizophrenic who hallucinated most of the story and that he must now go out to the world and be an adult. The end. What was that? HORRIBLE WRITING that ruined an otherwise good show. You cannot do 'this was a dream' story without foreshadowing and the story at least a bit making sense after.
I would give this show a 0/10 for the finale but considering the production value and the first two seasons, it's altogether a 5/10. The first season is more like 9/10 or even a 10/10 if you are really into stories like this one suggested to have before the series finale.
