This is what I wish the show would explore more. I can understand why Nate did it though (he was very broken at the time). We have a few more episodes left, we'll see

I actually like Nate this season, he's matured I think and I liked learning more about his family/background and him being bashful is honestly pretty cute. I don't like Jack at all, something about her is very smarmy. If she were a man showering Keeley with gifts would look really weird. It just would. I enjoyed the inclusion of Sam's dad and will probably get hate for this but - felt like the interjection of an emotionally charged hate crime and the politics that came before it in this episode was really not needed and really detracted from the rest of the episode. I get the writers were trying to make a statement but...it felt too heavy handed. I know these issues are very real, but gosh, I'd like a show for once to just be a show, Ted Lasso has lost a lot of the fluffy lightheartedness that made a lot of people start watching

There was certainly some heavy foreshadowing in this episode. I do think it's strongly hinting at Ted leaving, if not permanently, going on a long hiatus and packing up back to Kansas. I think he's been in over his head this season and it's becoming too hard to be away from his son. You can take the yank out of america but you can't take the american out of the yank. It's also the last season of the show, so it would make sense. Roy and Jamie's mentorship has been the highlight of the season for me.

What a finale! I loved how it intertwined Amy and Danny and everything came full circle. I enjoyed every minute of this show and its wacky personalities. I hope the discussion picks up.

This was my favorite episode. I really enjoyed the flashbacks and the little insights they gave into both Danny and Amy's self-destructiveness. It was difficult to watch Amy have to hold onto her dad's infidelity for so long and put pressure on herself starting from a young age. Danny throwing away Paul's acceptance letters was absolutely brutal.

It did feel very one and done, doesn't seem like it needs a second season.

Having finally got caught up on this show (mostly) this week, I think it's a fun enough watch and definitely one of Apple's better shows. That said, I do feel it was a bit overhyped. 🤷‍♀️ I found the dialogue a little too witty and wrote, though there was a good balance of humor and and grief/trauma. Some characters were way too sitcomy, like Liz and her husband and Brian. I really liked Harrison Ford's character, Sean, and Gaby (for the most part). Honestly, the trailer made the show seem funnier and lighter than it ended up being. Maybe dramedy is not my genre, but that seems like 90% of what Apple is producing right now.

Yeah, Joel is the good guy in this. Screw "the greater good", this is a guy who's lost way too much. Let him live out his days with Ellie and his brother on the Wyoming commune, and if she consents to giving the fireflies a chunk of her brain when she's older, that's on her. She's 14, she's not ready to be a science experiment. This show has been amazing and there chemistry between Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey is great. I feel it’s been a while since HBO has produced a true gem, but I feel this series is exactly that. The ending was perfect. I found myself really tearing up at the scene with the giraffes. It was a little hint that life goes on in this universe, and it isn't all cordyceps crazies and cult leaders. While I wish there were more episodes and I'm sad it's over, I'm also glad they didn't draw it out the finale unnecessarily like so many shows.

It's good to see Graham Greene still acting. I take it this is the last Joel episode because he wasn't in the preview for the next episode. Would have liked to see more Joel and Ellie interaction. 😢

This isn't directly related to the show but I just found out Bella Ramsey, the girl playing Ellie, is a Brit. How do they do it??? Millie Bobby Brown, Saoirse Ronan, now her. They all make it look so natural. 😅

What you have to do to survive and help your family survive is a common theme in this show. There's a lot of illusions to what Joel and his own brother had to do too, which I'm sure we'll hear more of in later episodes. It's brutal but very human. This show is good at not making people overly sympathetic while still humanizing them.

This show is one big sucker punch after another, I knew there was no way they were letting those two off that easy but ouch. This was an especially brutal episode. I don't know why but the trailer for the next episode is giving True Grit vibes. Looks very Old West-ish.

Full trailer dropped

Well, that was a gay storyline no one was expecting but it worked so well and hit me harder than expected. Moral of the story, love is possible anywhere and everywhere, even after the world ends. I think that's what makes this show so much better than the Walking Dead, it's full of intricate storylines and fleshed out characters. I'm really excited to see where the next episode goes. This was probably my favorite so far.

I don't think I'm going to be watching this show in the evening time again. Going to bed with visions of cordyceps zombie swarms and wiggly spores. The most terrifying scene for me was when they were watching the swarm from afar and later when you could hear them getting closer to the door. Ugh! I'm definitely hooked though. I never played the game (am aware of it though) so I don't have a lot of the same issues other people have with the show.

In the video game, isn't it true the spores are airborne? that doesn't seem to be the case in this series. I'm already liking it better than Station 11 though (similar virus-kills-everyone show, minus the fungi zombies)

Apparently the acceptance rate for FIT is over 50%. It's selective but not THAT selective. Shauna was almost in tears when her parents brought up how she'll need to go to school and do something with her life eventually. They needed to have this discussion 4 years ago when she graduated high school, not wait until she's 23.

I know this show is literally CIA propaganda just like Jack Ryan and another cheesy spy thriller but the characters are more endearing than most for a netflix show. The roommates were forgettable though

I'm getting awfully tired of the "rich white guy is evil and has a creepy futuristic lair" plot. Knives Out was so much better.

Shauna and her mom have a weird dynamic, I noticed it in the very first episode. Shauna is emphatic about being an adult, but simultaneously seems perfectly fine under her parents' thumb and doesn't attempt to prove her adulthood by taking on many responsibilities. She acts like a 14 year old who's insistent that they can do whatever they want but is also afraid of getting in trouble with their parents for it. At least she's learning to drive this season. I honestly think Shauna herself is afraid to do some things on her own, and is using "my parents will have a problem with it" as an excuse. Like flying/travelling.

So lessons that were learned - Portia: Get a better job Albie: Don't hand $50K of daddy's money to a hooker who's pretending to like you to get daddy's money Tanya: (in retrospect) Don't try jumping 20 feet off a yacht onto a smaller boat, hold the captain at gunpoint and just make him drive you to shore Harper & Ethan: Might as well love each other or someone else will ??? Since Tanya is dead, won't he just get her money anyway? I don't think he counted on his gay lover dying too though.

We still haven't seen any evidence the pimp is actually a pimp. The guys chasing her could easily be overprotective brothers. I take it Tanya was Greg's mark this whole time then? The two men are in cahoots to kill Tanya somehow? This episode did drag a little. Is the next one going to be the finale?

The deep seeded hatred she had for him, even as a tiny toddler (based on she wrote in her book alone) is shocking and really tragic. I think he was the one kid who marched to the beat of his own drum from an early age, which exacerbated as he got older and gained more self awareness. She probably sense he'd eventually call her out on her own nonsense. The years in that institution were absolutely done to punish him and break him down.

I'm so glad he's finally speaking out. Collin could be a great advocate, similar to Paris Hilton on the place she was sent to. He could easily make a living simply by trashing Khate honestly.

Another plot twist theory - Alessio, Lucia, and Mia are all working together and Alessio's planning to stage a robbery and rough up the men they've slept with a bit, pretending to be the pimp. It's all part of the plan. Since they likely know what's valuable in the rooms from sleeping with them and scoping it out (I'm sure if nothing else Daphne has a nice jewelry box and perhaps Dominic keeps some cash on him and has an expensive watch or two lying around). They'd then have an alibi, and Alessio can lie low for a while with the valuables while the investigations happen. But because they're not that intelligent it gets botched similarly to how the 'robbery' went in the first season and a bunch of them end up dead.
