My wife downloaded two and a half seasons of Defiance without commercials, so I ended just a few episodes shy of the 3rd season finale.
This is not something that I would typically watch, but being able to view it commercial free and back to back has a way of pulling a person in.
I must say I am flabbergasted by the constant changes to all characters that spring from no rhyme or reason.
Joshua Nolan especially changes from scene to scene even within an episode.
First he was an outlaw junker, then he was a bare knuckle fighter, then a law keeper, then a soldier, then a bounty hunter, then a tracker, etc.
I might have been able to swallow that he was a Jack of all trades, if his personality didn't also change with every scene.
One minute he's braving the wilds to save Irisa, 10 minutes later he's putting hand cuffs on her and locking her up??????
Then out of the blue he becomes MacGyver, then he's disrespectful to Deputy Tommy? WTF?
I can tolerate a certain level of lame acting and poor dialogue in the spirit of casual fun, but not multi-personality changes in characters bordering on insane without reason.
Nolan wasn't alone either. Amanda going from heroic mayor to drug addicted madam????
My best guess is that there was about 100 writers that each contributed a scene that didn't jive with any of the other writers' visions.
I don't get it. Probably had something to do with the series getting canceled.
I'll have to get the missing episodes to get closure, but I doubt it's going to get better.
