Good finale. Dynamics will change in season 2 and I’m looking forward to it.

Ultimately, Bianca’s downfall was brought on by her own hubris. She was “out” and the snake chief knew she could draw her back in because of her nature.
An unsanctioned 2 man mission against this killer whose back is against the wall??? In his home???

“Ay dios mio!” - Mr. Lee.

when she didn't call her back to the office and tell her about the mission and came straight to her crib your spider-sense is supposed to go up.

> Lasshana is a dumb ass. Should have smelt the setup a mile away. When your agency is an 'intelligence' gathering agency and your boss says they want the high-value target dead then u gotta be suspicious. End of the day she wasn't built for the life.

> Ending was good. Glad they didn't do the obvious thing and have Lashana win.

She did realise it was a setup. That's why she sent the msg to Osi saying she was sent out there on the low and if anything happens the boss is covering it up. It's also why she switched up the plan and wanted to take him alive instead of just sniping him on the driveway. She literally said to the white guy they need to go against orders and capture the jackal to find out who was helping him

Just finished this up last night :ehh: . Did not expect the ending to go down like that, but it was believable. The finale did feature a number of killer shots :wow:. Also really liked the car action, Jackal was drifting his ass off :whoo:


The best aspect of the series to me was him setting up for hits and the work that went into it, along with the fallout of the escape after he caught his target. I did enjoy Bianca on the chase as well.

The family dynamics weren't as strong for me, on either side. Tokyo from Money Heist didn't have much to do and her brother was moving sloppy throughout. I do see why they invested in those scenes to make the finale hit harder though.

Charles Dance being a rich a$$hole not wanting River to fukk up his money was cool too.

Those establishing shots of his house in Spain were :whoo:

What do you guys think Osi will do? To me it looked like he was deleting the text like “Nah, fukk this shyt dawg. It’s a shame but I can’t do nish. ”

Nah that last convo with the dirty director lead me to believe he's suspicious of her.

Also he always respected Bianca so he'll try to avenge her.

I think he will avenge her somehow, he knows the director is shady and Bianca's text confirmed it, him deleting the text was to cover his tracks

I usually don't get too worked up about plot holes, especially in the thriller genre.

But him nestling in a ceiling crevice for 24 hours and fukking a dude for key card access just for some nobody with a pistol to stroll up to the stage is legitimately insulting to the audience.

So the plothole is a fanatic nutcase infiltrating the security team?
