“DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED OR FINISHED THIS SHOW”
I finally got around to finishing the series and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. It was such a good show that was ruined by lazy writing in the end IMO… I have no issue with Joe’s final outcome, My problem is everything that follows…
Long rant below :
- Kate survives a hammer to the head, Gunshot wound and a burning building, Then wins Henry.
- Brontë survives a gunshot wound and drowning.
- Harrison and Maddie have no consequences for their actions.
- Teddy becomes CEO then turns a huge company nonprofit.
- Dom and Phoenix get their internet fame when they didn’t do much of the dirty work.
- Marienne becomes a successful artist.
- Nadia starts writing again and helps other prisoners.
While I don’t think that all the characters have a bad ending it just all seems lazy, Everyone gets a happily ever after while Joe rots in prison.
Yes Joe caused all these people so much hurt and trauma but it’s just unrealistic, I don’t see how Kate and Brontë could’ve survived after what they went through. I also felt they could’ve ended it with the Mooney’s fire.
EDIT : I also think a court scene at the end with all the characters in the room could’ve been a nice touch as well!
What is everyone else’s opinion?
