They ran out of any role for the character after the stuff that happened in season 1 and 2… and they also kind of ran out of juice for the entire show. And all of his scenes after coming out as trans exist in the malaise of a show that should have already ended. That isn’t Elliot Page’s fault.
But also they did not exactly excel.
I definitely think that’s true. Page excels in understated dramatic acting, not in over the top camp. While Umbrella seasons 1-2 had both, the only enjoyable parts of seasons 3-4 were the over the top bits with the exception of Fives and Lila’s outing. The Harlan as adult plot was underbaked and rushed, so I barely remember it.
