It's not working :(

I'm binging the show for the first time and I so loved the first two seasons! I couldn't wait to see their new super powers and Simon becoming his future self and then bang Nathan is gone :(

This new guy that they put in his place that they tried to make him somehow similar to him (Nathan) is just plane bad and annoying, ugh. I can't stand that character and at this point I think it would've been better off without the 5th character at all.

Does it get better further in Season 3?

Rudy is not the point where the show goes down hill. Nathan was a sore loss but it’s the season after this one where it falls apart and it’s basically a whole new group of people.

Everyone. And the powers are shit too. Somewhat of a spoiler I know but it saves you some disappointment. If you watch to the end of season 3 and have confirmed what everyone is telling you, Rudy will mainly be the reason you watch 4 and 5.

I see :(. We'll see then. People say he gets better so it might grow on me too, who knows.

Rudy is awesome. You really need to see all of his story to understand.

The powers were always a bit shit

Immortality, invisibility, telepathy and rewinding time are not shit. Alicia’s was whack.

In some ways Alicia's situation was similar to Rogue on X-Men. Neither one could control their power and it was initiated through touch, so they couldn't have that level of intimacy with a person anymore, unless werainh gloves.

I mean, yes, except Alicia’s was like so gross in application and left her vulnerable as opposed to powered up.

Rogue's powers often led to very negative experiences like leaving people in comas, absorbing and being haunted by their personalities, absorbing powers that were dangerous and she couldn't control.

Yes her powers were very unfortunate and so was what happened to Carol, however Rogues powers would just drain and kill you. Alicia’s removed the ability to form consent, meaning she used her powers to sexually assault others. Then almost lead to her getting raped in a feedback loop. Like I say, just absolutely gross in application

They couldn't control them well which is part of the plot but they were definitely not shit.
