This started so well. Season 1 and 2 were excellent, developing interesting three dimensional characters who felt real - whether they were Nazis, Japanese or part of the various resistance cells, you believed them and could understand their actions, no matter how bad they were. I'd have rated those first two seasons at least nine stars. Then it started getting a bit shaky. Season three was...okay, maybe worth six or seven stars, still watchable, but it became like a less entertaining version of Sliders. The aims of the Nazis became totally nonsensical. And then came season four and suddenly it's all about BLM! Suddenly there's a whole new black resistance movement and a big bunch of new characters, all of them perfect, none of them with faults, none of them slightly believe and it becomes a big rolling mess which I would give, at best, two stars. A pity. The arc of a number of the characters had been so interesting, and then it was all thrown away. Most disappointing final season since Falling Skies.
