The funny thing is the Newton reveal, while great, wasn't the best part of the episode for me.

Learning that Edie killed her father in front offer cokehead son and they hid this secret for 20 years was a lot. Also that the father wanted to leave the company with Hatch and not her. Now Edie is with that CIA shorty who is crazy.

Faraday basically telling Spencer who he is and breaking him Spencer was also great, until his own demise.

That was an amazing episode.
What I love about the Edie thing is up till now Hatch has been sympathetic but you he was definitely coming off as the sloppy fukk up the family and now its like nah, breh did the best he probably could in a sick house lol. Son was right to head to him ASAP, he could still bounce back.

Very nice season finale and works well as a series finale as well :mjcry:

I was worried they might mess up the Faraday-Newton conflict but just like everything else in the series it was smooth.

Only complaint I have is that it felt a bit rushed since they had a lot to wrap up (Newton, CIA, OriGen, Justin).

i wonder if they renew this. Great season finale but I don’t think this show hit the way we hoped.

I think getting a couple Emmy noms might push them to do a season 2. I just worry they might not get the budget to do season 2 justice. I enjoyed the season as a stand alone but I get what you saying. I thought it ended well but it wasn’t quite a home run. Still one of my favorite shows of this year

I'm trying to get through a backlog of shows that I wanted to watch, and so I just started binging this. I'm on episode 6, and this show is phenomenal!

Naomi Harris is great in her role, Clarke Peters is terrific as usual, and Chiwetel's acting is :whew:

I hate that I'm late to the party, it would've been fun to chop it up while the series was airing.

I hope more people stumble across this show because I would imagine it would be perfect for binging. A great blend of Sci Fi, Suspense, Comedy, Drama. Watching the evolution of Farraday from episode 1 to the end is amazing and I think my favorite episode was him sending a message to his people what it means to be human.

After Severance this was the best new show of this year to me

This was some good sci-fi with standout performances from the cast.
The FX, cinematography and set pieces were fantastic and rivaled some bigger budgeted movies.
