I'll add I had a similar perspective on 9-12, and recently finished 13's run.
13 is fun despite the writing, and some plot themes that are controversial for good reason. I think the showrunner was good at setting the stage, and creating characters, creating plot devices.. but then they're all underutilized or underdeveloped. Her first season was really setting that stage, which is why it worked best for me. The actors were brilliant though, and really did the best they could with what they had. So much potential, but it didn't quite manage to reach it.
Sweet, this actually gets me pumped to watch more of 13 when I get a chance.
I don't know that it's many people's favourite run, but there's some good stuff in there.
I’ll sift through some shit for some diamonds gladly.
