Tricked too many times

I was disappointed by the story and the way it was delivered. I was not disappointed in the acting. The actors were great. I just felt like there were too many surprises for the viewer, where we were deprived of key knowledge or illogical outcomes were revealed after a time jump so the suspenseful moments didn’t feel like they had satisfying payoffs. Finally, the last episode… There were many far-fetched moments throughout the series, but the first half of the last episode completely jumped the shark. It made me stop caring about the resolution among the characters.

One final note: I liked the effort to have a story that included people who use sign language. And hats off to the female lead for doing such a great job using a visual language. However, I was disappointed that the character progressions still emphasized that being deaf/mute is something that requires fixing.
