So...having just binge-watched S2 and the finale, some comments. Total spoilery, but I suspect everyone viewing this thread have already watched the finale. If not... don't read on.
Being 100% ok with every/anything LGBTQ related, I too am gonna agree with Gary on the last 30-mins ... but especially the last orgy. Completely unnecessary, and the fact that Rajan goes 'bi' is 100% BS. Liberal Indian or not... I could not buy in to his acceptance of a threesome or a 3-way relationship in general.
Nomi/Amanita's wedding - had no problem with it. A little elongated, but I felt THAT would've been the fitting end - except for the fact that every extended character was there - Silas/Capheus' mom? Really?? Why would they come to the wedding?
As for the finale itself... mostly satisfied with it, but still disappointed there couldn't be a 6 or 8 episode conclusion. Also disappointed we couldn't get another 3-4 seasons out of this - there could've been so much to tell. It was clear everything was rushed to wrap it up, and while the story made sense, there were a handful of unsatisfying moments:
- lack of exploration of Lila's cluster, The Archipelago, Mother/The Lacuna, the Chairman, the Secretary
- rushing to get all the characters out of the cluster aware/involved. We went from it just being Amanita/Bug (a little bit with Diego) to it being everyone - Mun, Hernando/Dani, Rajan, Felix. I get that was rushed because they had to, but I'm sure the original plan was to do each of them gradually.
- how did Mun know exactly how/where/when to find Sun?? And get off the street already! What, only 4 BPO goons were around? Same with the French police tailing Rajan to the condo... only a squad of 4 was dispatched, and then they had time to clear out the apartment? Why wasn't there a small army of BPO goons?
- The constant over-whelming odds in hand-to-hand fights and shootouts, and nobody from the cluster takes any real damage!?!?! (this was an ongoing issue, but exacerbated in the finale). They should've killed off Kala with that gunshot.
- Lastly, the 'money-shot' kill on Whispers was a rocket launcher from Will?!?! So impersonal. And then what ?? .. 'that's a wrap everyone'. Uh, hello!?! there were still a ton of BPO goons at street-level. Did they all power down like Star Wars clones when the helicopter went down?
A few other minor issue (like, how many bullets can the standard clip of a handgun hold!?!) And I don't want it to seem like I had more problems with it than how much I enjoyed it. Not the case at all. I was actually impressed how they tied everything off, especially Jonas' arc. It all made sense, and I watched the finale as if it was a movie, and ultimately was able to get past how rushed the story was (ie, had to be) compared to the previous 23 episodes.
The supporting cast was terrific too. Loved Hoy (even if it was painful how much he was just like Radagast
); Loved Puck; Loved Bug.
On to the next undiscovered Netflix gem.
