Piety killed her because she told Piety that she worked out who the killer was in her vision. Of course she only worked out who the killer was *because* Piety went to kill her, but they seem to be following the GoT style of prophecy where they mainly exist to fuck with you.

I just figured she had told Piety about Philo bringing her the dead parts to make the baby darkasher. So then Piety thinks she has to kill her to keep her secret of creating the real darkasher. The horuspex lady also says whoever made the darkasher was more powerful then her, so she was learning from someone else. Having horuspex around is no longer needed

Something along those lines. Self-fulfilling prophecy / gotta knife a bitch because sometimes bitches just gotta be knifed.
It's a little weak, but the Haruspex died because she was the only one around who could have (and did) reveal how the killings were accomplished. So piety was tying up a loose end as she narrowed in on Philo. It may even be something goofy like Piety liked her Evil Grammy so much that she killed her because Evil Grammy wanted to be killed. Not the strongest plot point, but it makes -enough- sense to not be terrible. There might have been a deleted scene with the Haruspex getting all righteous about whatever dumbass it was summoning up an asher and taking it as a point of professional insult and threatening to hunt them down and bad voodoo them. I just assume there was one like that.

There were a lot of things that happened in the first season that existed solely to move the plot forward. Not in a meaningless, hamfisted way like we got with the final season of GoT, but it did make the pacing of the show feel a little rushed. Especially at the end of season 1.

I suppose... the reasoning behind Piety's actions just seem questionable in regards to her mentor. Haruspex never mentioned what killed her or why, which is why Piety told her to stay with her. Did I miss dialogue that made Piety want her dead? Piety knowing that the Hatuspex knows the owner of the Darkasher when she dies just means dont kill her? Maybe there were some deleted scenes that would have made their interactions make more sense. Pi's dismissal of her from her protection was basically a neon sign saying hey look I'm the bad guy, for the audience.

"There is no cheating death.. especially when it's to come at the hand of a Dark Asher"
Piety looks shocked.
"A Dark Asher ? Tell me.."

Right? So Piety knows she kills her mentor, but why? Just because it is foretold doesnt mean she has no free will. She chooses to kill Haru because...?

Piety chooses to kill Haru because she realized that if she killed her in the future, there must have been a reason to do so and therefore she needs to do it. Speaking of Piety, I was super salty about the cute bear pet getting murdered so fuck that whore.

I liked it as well but a lot of it was shot like a bad horror movie, dark and hard to see. Everything needed to be more gratuitous. More sex, more violence, more plot etc.. It all came off as just kind of poorly fleshed out and meh. Maybe they tried to tell too much story or something.

I would say the first season was just too much setup. It was basically the first act of a movie. Which is unsatisfying because now we have to wait for S2 to see where it's going.

It reminds me of a prettier altered carbon. And better storywise. Carbon wasn't bad, but the story was just as thin.
It's not a masterpiece but it is pretty good. Story is thin in parts, but that's ok. They didn't inject some woke bullshit into it. Just a standard class struggle.
A show like this relies on production value as much as the story. It really did look nice. The haruspex costume itself was neat.
I dunno, it's not A+ tier. More like A- tier. I still give it an A though.

Altered Carbon was good until they departed from the book, then it all fell apart.
I have enjoyed Carnival Row, but I feel what other's are saying. It was so much setup and very little payoff.
Also, Orlando Bloom cannot act. He is so wooden in everything.
