Ok. May take me a little while to process this fully but I really enjoyed the finale. Everything about it worked for me. I think in the end Bronte even worked as a character. She is the stand in for the universal "You". The woman who falls for Joe even knowing who and what he is. Why do women still fall for him. I think Marienne said that to her nicely last episode and Bronte said it to Joe. Women fall the for the fantasy of a guy like Joe because they have to deal with the reality of a guy like Joe. I know people are upset that it was Bronte who brought Joe down but it kinda had to be her. Kate was too connected to Joe's sins to be the one to bring him down and I think that killing Joe would have been the easy way out. Sometimes a worse fate especially for a guy like Joe is being subjected to a trial and dick jokes. My favorite scenes though was when Joe was talking to Henry. The "You're the monster." scene hit me harder then it should have considering how true it was. I also liked what the show Is ultimately saying about Henry. That it is ultimately up to him what kind of man he wants to be. I also liked the ending for a lot of the surviving characters. I also really appreciated Nadia's ending. I have been watching this show since it was on Lifetime and I am glad that Netflix picked it up and kept it going. I was a fun dark show and I am glad it ended on a good note. Joe being killed would have left him believing he was the hero of the story. The last scene I am not sure was needed but I think it was there to show that Joe is never going to change but also show that it is ulitimately us that allow men like Joe to exist. Women will continue to send Joe love letters even in prison which gives him an excuse to put blame on other people and not himself.

Joe is nothing if not a hypocrite. A pretty romantic murderous hypocrite.

I love that the show has never forgotten Beck as a character. Brontë being someone with a connection to Beck was a fun reveal. No matter how good you are at scrubbing your past it will come back to haunt you. JUSTICE FOR BECK!!!!! Gotta love online sleuths. They will dig and dig and dig. Plus the whole campaign against Joe was kinda clever in a dark and twisted way. One of the big truths about Joe is that he is a charming guy all the way until you wake up in a glass cage. I can understand that even knowing what Joe is capable of that Brontë still fell in love with him. If Joe wasn’t so gosh darn charming and pretty there would be no show.

“Two people stuck in the box” scenes are some of my favorite scenes of the whole show. Real truth comes out. And it comes out hard.

Joe and Love did have a mighty cute kid. Having one of the side stories be whether or not Joe and Kate can even raise a kid with a conscience is a good story. There is something really weird about Bronte. Like she is the perfect girl for Joe and it is because she is spying on him. There are people out there that he screwed over that are still alive and Joe The Perfect Guy has been in paper ALOT and there are people out there with a grudge. Kate telling Joe "No" to murdering her sister was an interesting moment. Of course Joe kidnaps the wrong twin.

I thought the opening episode did what it was supposed to do. It introduced all the main characters and how they all related to Kate and therefore Joe. It also showed that Kate is alot more like Joe then she appears. She pretends to be good but when things don't go her way she is perfectly willing to let Joe be Joe. As for the brother the show needs a truly likeable character that will slowly realize who Kate and Joe are and either be horrified by it enough to take action by either breaking bad or breaking good.

My final opinion is that the series was a steady B- through the Roseanne reboot to The Connors name change. It had its episodes that were a little better and those a little worse but the finale didn’t ruin the show for me. So there is that.

The writing has been uneven for the show but the ending wasn’t all that bad. It ended in a good note for everyone. Yes it is unrealistic that Jackie would be hired back as a uniformed cop but so what? Let her have a happy ending and being a cop is her version of a happy ending. I also kinda liked the talk Dan and Louise has about Dan and his true love. The scene at the grave was nice. The flashbacks were nice as well. This will never be considered the best revival of a show and my major issue has always been it is too much poverty porn but I do like that everyone got some form of a happy ending.

There are some shows/movies that I thought were hilarious in the 90s when I was in my teens but now that I am older just isn’t funny anymore. Absolutely Fabulous probably fits into that category. I feel the same way about Married With Childrenz. I still kinda enjoy the Steve Rhodes seasons but then the show gets way too mean for me

I watch ALOT of hard core gritty drama. 911 was my escapism fun crazy adventure show with occasional heartwarming moments. I do think the show changed when it switched networks. Less scenes in the call center and I am guessing some general cost cutting. And now this. I think i am tapping out. I liked by 911 with plot armor. I am done.

The show sure is dropping cast members. Bobby and Athena were probably my favorite thing about the show. Not sure I am gonna stick around.

Doing nothing all day but eating napping and in my case watching tv and playing video games is kinda living the dream. Then again I don’t have a wife and a dozen kids that I am supposed to be headshipping. I can be a useless slug and all I would be hurting is myself. Then again I like money too much to actually live the dream. Damn work ethic!

On a workplace show no one seems to have friends outside the workplace.
