I think it's pretty consistent and there are some nice bits and reveals in the last half of the season.
If you've liked it so far, it's going to come down to the finale for most people. There's a couple reasons for that. There's a plot point that some reviews have ragged on for "trivializing" or "exploiting" which IMO is as dumb as anyone bitching about a trans character. OTOH some people are just not going to like or be satisfied with the climax because it's a bit... unconventional (although it's really not, but explaining why is a huge spoiler).
Lastly, when it comes to serial dramas there are a few types of season endings. There's cliffhangers like Walking Dead does every season (who dies this time?). There's shows like Westworld which end the story and give a nice conclusion and if there's never another season (obviously there will be) it's ok we got an ending but also completely sets up the next season.
And then there's finales like The OA where some questions are answered but even more are raised and if the show never came back... definitely unfinished. Don't expect everything wrapped up with a nice bow.
