A disappointing end to what, along with The Expanse, is probably the best sci fi show ever.
Rei's entrance was fantastic when she appears and, ninja like, saves Kovacs. . I don't know anything about Dichen Lachman, I really want to like her, but her acting in this is wooden and unconvincing. I pretended in the previous episodes that it wasn't that bad. But in this episode, it was so bad, I couldn't ignore it anymore. And her dialog in general, but in particular in the scenes in the Head in the Clouds, was abysmal. Although all the dialog in the scenes in Head in the Clouds was abysmal!
The final episode felt like they had at least another episode to go but then had to throw everything together into one final episode which made it feel contrived and rushed.
I gave the season finale an 8 for a great plot, mostly good acting, mostly good dialog, great scenery, and great fight scenes. I knocked it down to a 7 for Dichen Lachman's acting and the overall weak dialog. As an aside, I'm reading the first book right now and the dialog doesn't seem as bad to me as it was in the series.
I hope season 2 is at least as good with a better ending!
