xiphiasMeh.
The ending was deeply unsatisfying. I mean, like, not UNUSUALLY unsatisfying. Sloppily unsatisfying. They set up all these characters and plot beats and traits and stuff, and then ignored them. It felt like they ran out of time and just didn't bother to pay off most of it.
Lis says that the creator intended it to be a feature film, and stretched it out, and that makes sense. There's about two hours of plot and characters in those seven hours. There were entire subplots that were there that probably weren't in the original idea, and they never paid off.
So, yeah. Not 100% awful, but it would have been mediocre-to-average if they even bothered to have any of the things they set up pay off. As it is? Bad, but not so bad as to be notable.
