Fantastic episode.

One thing though

Spoiler
Elliot is Elliot but why would he let his father alone dying there? I mean everyone reacts differently in these situations but I had troubles understanding Elliot's reaction, it was so cold and inhumane (again I know how Elliot behaves but this was super weird)
[close]

That's where the shocking part went when I mentioned it above. Left me baffled as well but I readily attributed it to his 'weirdness'.

He had just launched him out of an upstairs window hadn't he,Elliot had his cast on so I am assuming that is the timeline.

But during it

Spoiler

He puts on his dying dad's jacket and hushes the seat next to him. I took that as the birth of 'Mr Robot'?

Also Elliot is a bit more than weird. His dad threw him out of a window and his mother is meant to be abusive too. Supposedly other than the window throwing thing he was meant to have a good relationship with his dad but I think there's a bit more to it than that and all. I can't forget Krista's reaction of utter shock when he casually mentioned it earlier in the season.

Just caught up. Brilliant. Angela in particular.

& rightly so. It's strongest season to date.

Just watched the finale. On a show that has been full of tremendous acting since day 1, somehow Cannavale is setting the standard even higher.

Yeah he was great.

Spoiler

What I loved is that his 'larger than life' character made perfect sense in this episode. Only way to survive.

Amazing episode to finish off a very strong series. I felt that it didn't need the post credits scene, though. The way it ended, and the way it was edited, was perfect. Should have just left it there.

Oh, and what is it about Bobby Cannavale playing absolute psychopaths?

Mentioned that in the previous page. I thought this was gonna be a slightly different role but I was wrong after all.

He was excellent in the last episode. Best performance by a mile.

A truly strong series indeed. Each episode had you glued to your seat and felt like nothing you watched was a waste of time.

Admittedly, never once I made the thought of what we saw regarding Angela.

Spoiler

It now makes sense. “Find a way to live with what you did.” It'sprobably the only time I agreed with something Price said and didn't make me want to bash his head.

Just watched episode 5.

Jesus Christ, I've watched some good episodes of television before but that stood out. Felt life a television version of Metal Gear Solid at times. Soundtrack is just at another level too. Thought it something by Alt-J at first but not surprised it turned out to be Philip Glass.

Outstanding season and superb finale. Joyous.

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #453 on:** January 5, 2018, 07:32:54 pm »

Just finished this last night.

Not sure whether I liked it or not to be honest.

It was good - but was it actually good?

Very nicely put together, well acted, lots of surprises...but it feels like its a bit too complicated for its own good sometimes. And retcons stuff all the time - in the last episode especially 'Oh wait, these central tenets of someone's character are all based on a misremembrance/mistake?' Hmm. I'd watch another series like, but I'm not wowed by it - I think this season was better than last though.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #454 on:** October 7, 2019, 08:44:48 am »

Thank God it's back. With little fanfare either it seems. Hope it finishes on a high.

Dont think they've marketed it that much. I knew it was coming at some point but didnt see anything about the season starting. Cant wait to get on it

Wonder who Elliot's third personality is?

The promo for the next episode is giving off a serious Pine Barrens vibe. Can't wait.

so the recent episode had just 11 spoken words if I remembered right. Obviously a lot of texting but the episode still flew by. Most unrealistic thing was probably Elliot's stamina though

Best episode yet. Made me miss New York. Everyone on this show is at the top of their game.

Roopy · « **Reply #466 on:** November 8, 2019, 09:23:05 am »

Oh wow this is easily my favourite show and I had absolutely no idea the final season started 1 month ago!

I've not seen a single advert or mention on social media - so bizarre.

WhereAngelsPlay · « **Reply #467 on:** November 8, 2019, 06:10:58 pm »

The last episode was as near to perfect as you can get,can't imagine another show pulling it off so well,if anything it was too short.

Never even realised when watching it. 50 minutes and hardly a word spoken is a masterclass in creating tension. Most film directors today could learn a thing or two from watching that.

Absolutely. I didn't know until it was mentioned in this thread, it was that absorbing.

Surprised by the lack of praise this is getting online/social media from what I've seen.

Episode 5 was a blast.

7 and 8 are setup perfectly now.

The acting in that episode was awesome. This show has been pulling out all the stops in the last few weeks.

It's up there. Superb. Had me gripped from start to finish.

So...

Spoiler

I was a bit worried about the 3rd personality thing that got randomly chucked in earlier. I rolled my eyes at the idea of just throwing that in there as another potential story twist for the sake of a twist, but the way it was done makes perfect sense in the only way it could have without it feeling needlessly convoluted. Elliott's 3rd personality actually being the person he would, or should be, without the history of his father and the bombshell revelation of his abuse introduces a whole new dynamic to the show.

It was all tastefully handled and hard hitting at the same time. Really good.

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #477 on:** December 2, 2019, 04:16:06 pm »

This is one of the best shows I've ever watched. The music in this one was just amazing. We're in the endgame now

Imagine my happiness when I just checked thinking this final season was 10 episodes,it actually has 13

ChrisOH · « **Reply #479 on:** December 2, 2019, 10:41:14 pm »

I know from previous posts that people who havnt watched this think I'm being biased but this season has taken television to new levels.
