like the creator can say redeeming her was never the plan until he's blue in the face but there is stuff in the first three seasons that makes no sense without a redemption arc in mind. yes even with Miracle Queen happening. it would have been FASCINATING to see how that would develop
I do like that the show is getting as deep as it can with its plot threads at least. I do want to see more, though I don't have access to anything beyond season 4 yet
(might also need to find season 4 AU fiction where Chloe does fall down further before forcing herself to change because that'd be an interesting read)
