A little late to this party, but I second pretty much all that's been said here. I think the best non-spoilerific way to sum up my experience was that I expected an 80s reboot series stuffed through an Avatar: The Last Airbender mold, and got an 80s reboot series stuffed through a Babylon 5 mold, complete with compressed feeling main arc resolution.

Interestingly, the show runner has stated that they knew all along how many episodes they'd be working with, but it feels like they must have forgotten somewhere along the line and looked up one day to notice "wait, we're how many episodes into the last season? Crap, crap, crap crap..."

It also feels like everything shifts for the last season, down to moving from deeply human and relatable villains to a big bad who only isn't mustache twirling because he lacks a mustache.

But pacing and somewhat trope-y final villain aside, a very good series with some of the best characters to be found. And at 52 30 minute-ish episodes it is a lot quicker to watch than quite a few less well constructed series.
