Next, here are a few things that tell you the bad parts of this series, and how it ended...which was badly. Spoilers are included, so stop reading if you don't want to know.
- Loki never gets what's coming to him. Throughout the entire series, Loki is horrible, but he ends the show being just as bad as ever, with no justice.
- The Johnson boys spend most of their time losing. They lose at nearly every encounter in every episode.
- When Mike and Michelle get together, they seem like the perfect couple. They are happy, and Michelle wants to heal people with the magic stick. Unfortunately, the writers took it in a terrible and weird direction. They turned Mike into a very horrible person, a real jerk with no sympathy for humans and zero common sense. You really hate him in the end. The show ended with Mike ending up with Hannah (Frigg) and they are together at the end. That is so utterly stupid and bad. Axl and Hannah were perfect. Mike and Michelle were perfect. The only explanation I can think of is that people in charge of New Zealand studios are the same as Hollywood, in that they are incredibly corrupt and amoral. They have no moral compass, they are no moral souls, and have no idea what normal humans want or how normal humans feel. It was just bad. It turned an 8 out of 10 show into a 6 out of 10 show.
- I would never again watch any series by these same writers or this same studio. Bottom line.
