Skinny Pete and Ed the vacuum guy were good character boosts. Even Mike and walts brief vignettes were subtly solid. I didn't love the kandy story arc but otherwise I'd call the movie not great, but satisfying enough. I don't think anybody was ready or interested in a slow burn or suspenseful send off. Just quick closure and this did that fine enough.

Bingo.
I would have been upset if Netflix hyped an 8 episode mini-series for a year with the promise that it was centered on Jesse with an "explosive ending" and this was ultimately the story that was told. But, there was little to no hype or expectation on this, we didn't even have confirmation it was happening until a month before its release. It kept expectations low, and it was a story that did not at all need to be told, but I still loved my two hours back in the universe.
