I felt they lost it in season 3 when they suddenly went "you know this show where the American government has been the bad guy all along? Well now it's the Russians! Surprise!" I mean I still think it's fun to watch, but I really didn't like that weird pivot. Also I've noticed a lot more advertising on the show in the last 2 seasons. Just Netflix trying to monetize every inch of this show.
The Russians are framed as the bad guys, but honestly, aside from the dubious "Let's breed man eating extra-dimensional horrors (that we found out about how again?) for...reasons...that are mostly The Americans Have Them" they act pretty fucking rationally.
All the prisoners absolutely belong there, Mr Good Cop is obviously guilty of espionage, and all the SU people absolutely are justified in stopping a) A guard committing high treason, prison escape, and theft of state secrets and b) a smuggler who is an absolute sociopath only tolerated because he was a war hero.
Meanwhile the US is all about either killing a young girl because uh, obviously that will work, lets not listen to the experts, or, exploiting said girl in a continuation of some pretty fucking extreme child abuse so that they get to continue Thinking With Portals.
