I didn't get the James Cordon hate and gave the season a go. It was pretty good, but I did have a mounting trepidation about how they'd end it.
In the end that was completely the right stance to take as it was all a bit of a farce really. The shock twist was easily predictable, kind of to the point it didn't actually feel anything was resolved. I was actually a bit surprised when Amazon said that's it no more episodes.
Will there be a season 2? No doubt.. but they probably shouldn't bother. They've burnt all their fireworks with this one and it was just a bit underwhelming.
It's a real problem with modern shows in general - they've mastered how to hook people and get you to binge watch, but when the ending comes they either leave you hanging or have some totally by the numbers explanation like this one. What happens to the characters from here? I don't think anyone cares after this episode tbh.
