Honestly, was expecting a bit more for the ending. The whole last season just felt a little flat. Maybe the death of the actual queen made them go a bit too soft? It just didn't feel as grand or intricate as the past seasons, and the constant use of "ghosts" speaking to characters got a bit ridiculous. Overall however, it was a great series that I will probably be rewatching at some point in the future.
I don't know what this plot is trying to convey. You said it might be a satire of paparazzi, but then suddenly a celebrity hits someone and flees. You think the female protagonist will use secret photography to expose the truth, but instead, she finds out that the female celebrity is being held captive. You think that the plot will reveal that the doctor is a pervert, but instead, the female celebrity suddenly turns into a werewolf and goes on a killing spree. You thought this might introduce other fantastic plot twists, but she is injured by the female lead and returns to her original form. The female celebrity asks the female lead to kill her, and the female lead hands her the gun. The female celebrity drinks the bullet and commits suicide. Then, the female lead takes a picture of the scene, and that's the ending. I am full of question marks.
Great episode, but it didn't feel like Black Mirror. It's missing the sci-fi element, the dystopian topic, the futuristic technology aspect.
Not the finale I was expecting. The finale was a bit boring. All the other episodes were good just not this one. Can't wait for next season!
Really interesting episode on how the infamous Diana interview came to be. Here the story already takes into account what was revealed last year by the BBC itself that the journalist deceived Diana with fake bank statements that some of her employees were paid to report on her. Overall a really sad story when you think of it.
Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.
Another great episode, although I did not expect such a gruesome opening scene from The Crown.
I was like "They better not show text how good the charity funded by the Bin Laden family and the Qatari government is for society"
Welp, they did. At least highlight how charities are used to give them more money and influence. Not make it seem like he cares about POC when he refused to even shake hands of black people in his coronation (edit: Elizabeth's funeral). Also him dancing screams "How do you do, fellow kids."
It's not the worst charity judging from CharityNavigator, but c'mon he literally made Diana's life hell and they only show her in 2 scenes here.
Brilliant episode. The storytelling is just out of this world here. I loved how they incorporated King Edward again and I‘m sure going to have to do some research on the Al Fayed family.
Great scene between Mo Mo and Di Di.
Laughter laughter
Fun fun
"Oh, come on! You can't blackmail anyone anymore."
i will miss the way Andre Braugher deliver his lines :broken_heart:
I thought the mix of comedy and social commentary worked better here than in the premiere.
This has a great premise and the possibility of being a great show, but if the Brits were doing it they'd make it spectacular and in 8 episodes or less. This is a typical American "how-can-we-drag-a-short-story-into-5-season-before-killing-it-unexpectedly” show waiting to happen. I want to love it, but it just drags on and on. 6/10
Update - someone put a bullet in the back of it's head... about 4 episodes too late. Painfull to watch the further along it went.
They stuck the landing and delivered. A really great, satisfying finale that sets up the final season.
There's only a few times in your life you'll live through a cultural Phenomenon. First Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The X-Files. Something people will remember, reference, and talk about decades later. I truly believe Stranger Things is one of those.
EDDIE MUNSON PLAYING MASTER OF PUPPETS IN THE UPSIDE DOWN WAS LEGENDARY!
"Chrissy, this is for you."
they finally showed us how to communicate through lights!!!!! and also THAT FUCKING REVELATION THO I SERIOUSLY DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING!!!!!!! LASTLY, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO TEAM CALIFORNIA???????
This is the end of an era and what a way for it to go. A truly impactful and breathtaking finale that will go down in TV history as a landmark in how to conclude a series in such an emotional way. Goodbye Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe, you’ll be missed but never forgotten.
Amazing finale. Loved every second of this show. The flashbacks were incredible in this final episode. Truly a spectacular show all around. I miss it already.
Rhea Seehorn at her finest hour. In this episode she delivers one of the best performances of Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad combined. Master class of acting in every way. That ending is chilling too.
I can't imagine how this show will end at this point. There's still so much we need to know. What an episode though. The beautiful overlap between "Better Call Saul" and "Breaking Bad" prove that the idea for a prequel was well thought out and considered as to not ruin the unforgettable legacy of its predecessor. It's fascinating to see some blanks being filled in that true fans will come to appreciate.
they really just gonna keep Michael Mando's name in the credits and give me some dumb faint hope he makes a guest appearance huh
Genuinely one of the most horrifying death I've ever witnessed in a TV show. The entire final sequence is scarier than most horror movies these days.
This was truly heartbreaking…Worlds collide as Jimmy’s life morphs into Saul’s longterm burden. Seeing Howard be killed so swiftly was gut-wrenching. I particularly love the juxtaposition between Nacho’s heroic/final victory death and Howard’s tragic demise - Jimmy and Kim tarnished his reputation and his death will now cement his defamed legacy and undercut all the success his life and career had seen. Love how both death scenes feel very inevitable and using that fact to heighten the tension and bask in the moment of the scene. I can’t praise the BB/BCS team enough. Emphasized bravo to Patrick Fabian, putting on an award worthy performance all season long.
i don't... what.. i just can't breathe aright now... holy holy damn
First time that Mike and Kim share a scene together.
Great directing from Rhea.
Michael Mando deserves at least a nomination for this season... damn, what a great job - physically and mentally
I was more scared of Jimmy somehow losing the 7 mill than I was of him being shot in the shootout or frying to death in the sun.
Also, as a sidenote, I've heard Kim compared with Skyler and I gotta say I find Kim much more likable. Just as I find Jimmy much more likable than Walter White. And that adds to my enjoyment of the show. I feel for Jimmy in a way I didn't with Walter.
No one commenting on how Kim goes from "I don't trust you" and "We need to end this" to "Maybe we get married?"??? Because that was a rollercoaster of a soliloquy! Kim needs an Emmy nom at least.
