I give the finale an 8, not because I like the ending, but because I think it's believable that Julian would go back to his original work. I mean, was he really going to continue to wear a hair net & keep that dead end job? Being a gigolo is what he knows; what he's good at. I like real endings, not fantasy! I like to think that Julian is a rare bird & can find a way to do that work & not lose his soul. I don't even know if that's possible! I came to really like the character! His saving Grace was his integrity. I felt disappointed in the ending & wish that he could have used his faith in hisself to do something else, I'm just not sure what that would be.

That's a wrap.

Eight decent episodes that wrapped up one season and should be the end , cause so much happened in this episode and so many answers were given .

Showtime over the years has put out good shows like Ray Donovan and Shameless and many other's , but in all fairness this show should be one season , the charactors performed well , the leads especially Julian and Sunday and the young Julian who also played his son did a good job.

The grown up Isabella , wow her performance makes evil witches look innocent , her portrayal shows basically you dont mess with her.

Julian is free to do what he does best .

Great season, terrible finale
Theedg317 November 2022
The season was really strong overall with as usual a solid performance from Jon Bernthal, he's become very reliable and a surprisingly killer effort from Rosie O Donnel. The story was fun, dark, moody, bold, sad but also fun and exhilarating. Lizzie Brochere is phenomenal as Isabelle, so intriguing, sexy, dangerous and Wayne Brady surprisingly is believable as a male escort - love the dude.

It feels like they ran out of story for the finale, half of the episode felt like a recap, flash backs galore, the pacing was horrible with very little happening and when it does its so underwhelming Im already thinking about what Im binging next.

They did not leave me excited or even expecting a Season 2 with how weak this ended. Props to the cast for awesome performances but the ball was dropped for this finale.
