Deux ex Machina: The Remake

I actually enjoyed myself most of the show, and thought about rating it at least a 6 or 7. If you watch without context, and take it as a fun heist-like show, then the first arcs can be enjoyed a lot. Actually, watching it as a standalone is the fairest chance you can give this show, since, besides 2 offhand mentions of a character from s1, everything else about this season feels like a remake of the og story rather than a continuation of where we left off in s1, and that is where this whole show starts to fall apart. The shameless abuse of deux ex machina in the last few episodes are what truly drove the nail in the coffin of this season, and at least to me, made me even dislike our beloved leads a lot by the end, quite a feat considering how the characters are what elevated season 1. Either way, don't recommend if you liked season one, watchable if you come for the heist-like structure of the arcs, but the ending will still suck quite a bit.
