One of the best episodes and finales I've seen in YEARS. Haven't been that drawn in since Avengers: End Game, Breaking Bad etc.
Disagree with what other reviewers are saying about the writers "playing it too safe".
I'm totally done with boring overused plot devices inspired from Game of Thrones where "no character" is safe.
Also done with cheesy themes of "love" and "friendship" being disregarded. Nothing wrong with Mike saying he loves El for example, and that giving her the courage to fight on. Can't young men love anymore? Do they need to be machiavellian and "hard" to be taken seriously? Why can't superheroes be encouraged by the belief they receive from their loved ones and friends?
So anyway thank you to the Duffel Brothers for getting the balance right and going against the cultural grain right now and producing some great TV with lovely themes and the right balance of shock, action and camaraderie.
