    What twist are you referring to? You mean the ending of S1?

      Yes. In E2 or E3 (I forget exactly which episode) there’s an attempted misdirection, a “leading you up the garden path” moment, that was so obvious that for a moment I couldn’t believe the script writers had done it. Then you realise that there’s no way they’d ruin the rest of the season by actually revealing everything at that point, so therefore the opposite of what they’re implying must be true. Which then kinda ruined the rest of the season for me. From that point on, virtually everything in the rest of the season was predictable, including the ending.

      It would have been much better if the “garden path” moment had been left out entirely. It had no bearing on the plot itself and none of the characters paid it any heed; it was purely for the viewer.
