...the whole business where the suit is both super expensive and thrown together from junk found in the scrapyard just doesn't go together. Plus the complete absence of any investigation into the suit wearing criminal by the authorities. The whole things feels jarring.

At least the decision at the end (assuming she did actually make the deal, as implied) is in-character. It's stupid after she witnesses what happens to Parker but it conforms exactly to what Zeke said to her when she visited him in prison. It's ultimately a selfish decision. That's fine, because it's not really a surprise looking back at her arc during the 6 episodes. The problem still remains that she's an unlikable main character and the show never really owns up to the fact that her "predicament" is both illogical and entirely self-inflicted. All the "woe is me" bullgak doesn't really work if you take 5 seconds to stop and think about what she's capable of but it has to happen to put her where the plot needs her to be. It's just lazy writing.

Still, it's laziness that can be corrected in a potential second season. If there is one, I hope they go all in on the fact that Riri is not a good person and don't try to redeem her. Also, here's hoping they don't try to play more into the "!woe is me" side of her deal with Mephisto since, y'know, she knew what she was getting into there.

You would think the police who can trace a piece of exotic biotechnology overnight would be able to locate the very obvious flying suit, that was also clearly involved in the crimes. Or, for that matter, the dude running around in a hood who keeps wounding people at these heists
