This review is of the whole season, and its heart is two words:
Don't bother.
The plot throws out some interesting elements, none of which pays off. Trails are begun and dropped, pivotal characters appear and disappear, mysteries loom and vanish, expectations get raised and then forgotten.
The characters don't help much. Bill Pullman's bleary squinting unrelated expressions don't get funner to watch. But worst of all, the central character is a kid named Julian, and he is an unsympathetic, unlikable, uncompelling, annoying, obnoxious character.
The grand denouement is just a spit in the viewer's face and a "See you next season!"
Do not bother.
