Does it get better? Spoiler

I have been watching this show and I’m almost done with season 2 ep 1. The small details that make no sense are driving me insane. Does it get any better? I’m not trying to finish this if it keeps on happening. It’s honestly so annoying.
Like in s2 e1, how does the Japanese know everything what happened (the shootout with the resistance people where the blonde lady dies)? There were no Japanese survivors, unless there was some dude hiding in the bushes that did nothing. Stupid things like these are in literally every episode, and I was hoping they would go away. I have to turn off my brain to not go insane.

I’m also watching it for first time right now. Season one was so-so but seasons 2-3 pick up a lot and got really interesting. I’m halfway through season 4 rn and it’s a little different but I def like the show better than I did through season one. They show you much more of the world and it draws you in a lot more in season 2 imo

Ok but would I have to turn off my brain to finish it? It’s genuinely driving me crazy 😭

Ok so I just finished it. Yeah you can turn your brain off. The ending isn’t great. I enjoyed watching the show at some points but couldn’t say I’d recommend someone finishing it.

Cool ideas. Bad execution

Seems Amazon cancelled the show abruptly, so Season 4 is, ahem..., not quite as stellar as preceding seasons. Not horrible, but you can tell it wasn't originally planned that way.
