I thought this last season was really important.
I'd argue it should be compulsory viewing for young folk sucking to find their way in an increasingly complex world. It should also be compulsory for older folk, like me, who grew up in a close minded, binary world and might struggle to understand the new one.
Either way, I thought this was a great last episode. The story arcs of almost all the characters were resolved very satisfactorily and often in clever ways.
There were gentle twists ("I live being inside you"), logical outcomes and hopeful messages.
What I don't agree with is the number of viewers who think Otis and Maeve are done. That's not what I saw at all. Did they not see Maeve with Otis's polo shirt? Did they not hear It's acknowledge that Maeve needs to develop. Was the scene of them both staying out at their shared sky thinking of each other missing in the version aired? I thought their path was hopeful. They are apart for now, but that's not an end. They aren't so far away, either can return to the other when their lives have developed. I have personal experience of having to live away from the person I fell in love with and returning. Twice. Otis and Maeve have every chance of making it, or learning that they can live without each other and moving on. I like to think they grow closer through their absence.
IMHO, it was a great end to the story, with well and acted superbly but a remarkable cast. I laughed, I cried and I learned.
