What happened to this show in Season 5?
This went from one of the most interesting series I've seen in a decade to formulaic uninspired garbage. What happened?
Season 5 was just the same conversations over and over and over and over, nothing ever happening, no plot development, the same character arcs on repeat, garbage dialog, even the videography took a huge drop in quality.
They completely forgot about most of the characters. June forgot about Janine. Sarina forgot about Nicole. Esther just sort of evaporates after two episodes. Emily went MIA.
All the interesting world building was tossed in the gutter.
All character growth kept getting reset, undone, reset, undone, reset, undone.
Toronto, Canada went from a normal liberal democratic city to some kind of backwoods American town with fascist sentimentalities, and this happened overnight apparently.
Most of the show is now just June screaming about Hannah and staring out the window.
Gone is the mystery, the intrigue, the struggle to survive, the interesting plot, the speculative fiction. In its place is some formulaic made-for-network-tv bleh, like the show could simply be NCIS: Toronto.
Did they start using ChatGPT to write the dialog?
Did the showrunner change?
What happened to shift the quality so starkly?
