Looks like it was cancelled after they did S2 so probably ends with a cliffhanger.
Pity, it’s a great show.
I think this show is just too smart for most viewers. It reminds me of Westworld in its telling. Slow burning but intriguing. J K Simmons is exceptional as always.
Nooooo! This is a great show, I hope if finds a home elsewhere.
