Dan Southworth's Divergence Done By An Auteur

Quantum Ranger, Dragon Knight I mean Divergence is about a soldier dealing with some sort of mental illness after being on some mission. He is a handful for his a little bit too everyday girlfriend, who really does not know these things. (We do not really get to see conversations between them as Mark in the series tends to be outside the house determining his suspicions. What is an everyday conversation between the two of them besides "Thanks for not leaving me?" Have they met each other's families. We know she's met and talked to Ty, his best friend in a wheel chair who we have seen fighting at the beginning of the series.)
When they revealed the manipulation of the doctor, it could have been done subliminally like by a book on his desk stating something along the lines of PSTD Patient Manipulation.
As for the doppelgangers, if I were Alfred Hitchcock, I would have done something a bit more ambitious and written a story about how the doppelgangers were not only literal, but also figurative reflections of the characters of the show. A great example would have been giving the wife a doppleganger that resented Mark for mistreating her in her dimension which reflected something this dimension's wife had.
He does however set up the perfect murder with a doppleganger who may be lying, classic Hitchcock.
However, what do I know about a special effects show? Funding, cuts, takes.
The ending of the series has not been shown yet either. Who knows what will happen then?
