I wanted to enjoy Hal, but man, he never did do anything for the story at all, did he? And the longer he stayed the more he seemed like a drip instead of a good friend. For another disappointment: Nick, who never acquired any more depth than he had in episode one (...two? whichever one where he started pushing for money) and who hadn't even so much as the beginning of a spine.

the way that the supernatural is just. Completely not tied to any character's arc until the last twenty minutes of the final episode is so deeply unsatisfying!

So unsatisfying!! What was their purpose at all? They said nothing interesting about ANYONE.

I'm curious now which parts you liked BETTER than you expected, since this review is mostly about which parts you disliked. (Extremely valid).
