So the finale was really goddamned good. I sat down there thinking, "OK, there is an hour left. I honestly have no ****ing clue what's going to happen."
The only minor quibble I have is,
But whatever I get it. And I'm not a up on my 1931 legal precedent. So I won't quibble too much.
The acting in this was just superb. Rhys absolutely destroyed every second of every scene he was in. Juliet Rylance (Della) also crushed it.
That's just incredible acting. Not production, not music, not cuts or editing, not dialogue or writing, just pure acting emotion. What could have been just a throwaway moment hit like a freight train and also made
really mean something and add depth.
Whigham (Strickland) really did a great job too. He didn't have a ton of play, but the episode working really relied on him expressing things right and he did a great job. I really loved watching him work in this series.
The ending wasn't what I was expecting but really goddamned worked for me.
Hopefully California opens back up and they roll out Season 2 timely.
