Yeah, I really didn't like it. I found it somewhat entertaining, but objectively it was very bad. The characters had almost no consistency or logic to most of their actions, and they where pretty much just acting to move the plot along. Danny in particular I thought suffered from this, having almost no actual consistent traits or character-development. Joy too, she changed her entire character to whatever the plot needed on a whim. Her wanting to kill Danny came out of nowhere. One minute she's completely turned against her father for betraying him, the next she suddenly wants to kill him. Where did that come from?
They accomplished very little, and few of the characters had consistent motivations (exceptions being Harold and Ward). There were massive plot-holes like, how did the Board fire three people who probably had like a culminative 90% shares? That's not how it works at all. Why did Danny want his company back if he was just gonna ignore it, and ultimately ruin it's functionality? He seemed to want stuff until he got it, and then just stop caring. The choreography gets a lot of hate too, but that actually didn't bother me that much.
For me, Ward Meachum carried the show. He's the reason I watched till the end. He had a riveting redemption arch and I thought his character motivations were consistent and his development was earned. I really liked Harold too up until that last episode, when he became a bit too one-dimensionally evil for me.
