Started watching it on Pluto and only in the first season but I’m liking it. I’ve seen random episodes here and there and my dad rented the movie once it was available at blockbuster. Plus it’s cool to see a show with Air Force members as an Air Force vet. I assume since it ended before the woke era there aren’t any major girlboss moments.

I am 100% on-board with everything you just wrote. I actually LIKED Todd, at least in the first few episodes he was in, but they really should've kept his character at a proper "distance" after that. Like any form of subversion or "surprise" is best used in rare and tantalizing doses. Otherwise it becomes bland noise that has no substance or flavor. Or maybe overspiced might be one way to put it.
And yes, Michael would've actually proven to be a more interesting character if he'd died tragically. As a consequence of a failed retro virus. A rash and reckless experiment. Heck, the "hybrid" plot MIGHT have worked if it carried over after his death.
His character was just a broken mess that hinged on the usual "Oops, we accidentally deceived you in a backhanded way, and now made your our enemy" cliche. A cringey cliche I have hated for years, since it's always predicated on heroes suddenly making asshole decisions, usually coming almost out of nowhere. And yes, by the time he made his second come back I was pretty much done with the show as well.
(Sorry, didn't mean to write so much there, just had to get some of that off my chest lol)
