(Season Finale)

Paranoid, Tony demands loyalty, but can he trust those closest to him? Corinium and Venturer prepare for a gladiatorial public meeting to decide if Rupert, Declan, and Freddie can contend for the franchise against Tony. Both teams pull out all the stops. 

Premiere Date: October 18, 2024     Hulu

I binged this over a few days, and it started out well enough.  But I think it was too many characters and so I wasn't that invested in any of them.  By the season finale, there were still names I couldn't remember.

Best part for me was the 80s music, some of which I'd not heard in forever!

And I know I'm supposed to care about the deep, pure, abiding love story of Taggie and Rupert.  Alas, I didn't.  

I've not read the book, but I assumed Cameron Cook was NOT a black American woman in it.  She was easily the worst written for me (nothing against Nafessa Williams, who was wasted, IMO).

I agree with you as far as the Cameron character concerned; could not care less about what happens to her. 
I’d like to have a second season to just tie up the loose ends of the last episode, but really don’t think it could sustain my interest for a full season unless they pull out some new interesting storylines. 
This show started out gangbusters and just kind of slowly fizzled out. None of the characters really developed. The whole Maude “boo hoo I gave it all up for my family” shtick at the end seemed to come out of nowhere since she seemed to not give a rat’s ass about her kids.
