This is coming from someone who loved seasons 1-3

This season 4 featured so many characters making dumb decisions that rely solely on plot convenience.

Nadia took her boyfriend to the basement to see Marienne despite knowing Marienne wasn't in the basement Because she had previously saved Marienne. What? For what purpose?

Marienne and Nadia's plan was to fake Marienne's death while hoping that a serial killer who burnt up his ex-wife won't do anything to her body. What?

Joe usually cuts up and/or buries bodies. He's a master at taking care of bodies. But guess what? He left her body on a bench so she'll be found as a junkie? What? He could have chopped her to pieces or buried her. That was a dumb plan that only needs plot convenience to work. Their plan hinged on him leaving her body intact.

Very dumb plan coming from so-called smart characters. There was no valid reason for not calling the police on Joe. Is Joe superhuman? What would he do if he was arrested?

Apparently, even if by luck the plan worked, the killer who tracked her across the globe won't suspect for a second that she's alive?

This season had too many writing issues, forced plot twists etc...it's almost as if the writers wanted to add as many elements as possible in the show and drag it on further... I guess the numbers are good so Netflix won't let it end even when this season would have been a perfect time to end the show

My biggest issue is characters acting irrational. Yes most of the cast are junkies...it still doesn't cover up the random behavior of these characters. These characters feel like they're just there to occupy screentime.

Even the police...wtf... It's crazy how they don't suspect Joe despite him being the most suspicious. Someone was murdered in a resort with a killer on the loose almost burning 2 others alive, yet the police did nothing? They didn't even question or investigate the people there. Police didn't even ask questions about how TF they took care of the body. At least someone should have given statement about how Joe took the body downstairs or something. The police didn't even question them? What?

What about Joe? He has multiple personality disorder but how TF did he set the bunker he was in on fire with no way to escape. In fact if Kate hadn't come to save them, he'd be dead. There was no way he could have predicted she would even find where he was. Terrible writing there.

I cannot forgive the character assassination of Joe. The explanation for why Joe murdered those people was beyond terrible. So Joe killed someone because she made a drunk and high remark around a table that "people started dying the moment he appeared?" What? No one even took her seriously.

Joe throughout the past seasons has never been someone to kill so thoughtlessly. That's the reason he's survived for so long. He's smart.

What was his other motives for the other murders? Someone he barely knew was taking advantage of his former staff and getting all the credit? What?

It's almost as if the writers don't even understand Joe's character. Character assassination right there.

Kate's father, Tim, he knew his daughter was dating someone who he suspected had previously killed his wife and yet he allowed him? And even blackmailed him to kill Rhys? What? For someone that powerful, it makes no sense that he couldn't pay someone with no trace to him to do the job. It had to be someone he thought was an amateur? Why would he even leave the daughter he was so protective of with Joe?

Don't let me get started on the mess that Phoebe was.

I heard the previous seasons were adapted from novels...but I won't be surprised if this season was not...it was probably just a season to milk the shows popularity.
