My experience with Bad Robot television productions is that they're excellent at creating emotional moments but SUCK at plotting.
They often start off with one direction in mind but by the beginning of the next season they seemingly get bored and start heading somewhere else. Plot holes be damned. Most of their productions feel aimless with no ultimate goal in mind. Just making up whatever they can on the fly to keep the ball rolling as long as possible.
The only one of their shows that I truly enjoyed from start to finish was Almost Human and I feel that's because it sadly only had the one season.
But it too suffered from the lazy writing that is indicative of a Bad Robot production. Which was to introduce a new issue (usually mental/emotional) out of nowhere and then have whatever incident that happens that week help to completely resolve it by the end of the episode.
Ultimately, they're expert emotional manipulators not storytellers.
