Certainly one of the most satisfying ending of a series I can think of. I was waiting for the transition from sitcom to reality from the start and they did not disappoint, the way Kevin turns from clown to terrifying abuser is scary and just show Petersen's talent, the real Kevin (James) wouldn't be able to do that even with Kubrick directing. Great episode but is it really the end or the fact we did not see his body and no one commented on him being dead leaves the door open to a third season, maybe all dark with Kevin ready to destroy the wife's life?

The biggest hype surrounds this depressing movie, many are afraid to speak their mind because they think they "have" to like it to feel smart as much as hyper on the other side. It's not the only case, "Everything, everywhere ecc ecc" it's another one. On tv you have Severance or Yellowstone. In the age of social media it's everyday bigger the need to "fit in" with the rest of the flock, so many pinch their nose and walk through the stench. So we have this hugely hyped, and awarded, movie that we must like. I really wanted to do it. Then I found the detective from Mr Mercedes doing the same part minus the badge, Farrell completely miscasted reminding me of a Joey Tribiani without his sandwich jokes, and the rest bleak and depressing as they come. I am sure that is what that director wanted to achieve, and hey, mission brilliantly accomplished. Gleason cuts his hand without any reason and it's never explained. The whole movie it's just a waste of time. Maybe there is a message that not Irish people can't receive, it might be. I loved these guys in the other movie that made together, "In Bruges", but here there is nothing of that magic. It is a small movie that without the hype and watched in a little essay cinema might have a sense and a place. With the the trumpets and and the lights of Golden Globes much, much less.

I keep watching horror movies, and supposed horror like this, and keep remaining disappointed. After Smile and Barbarian now this Midsommar promised something it couldn't deliver. It's like they can't make anymore a reasonable scary movie without people taking questionable decisions. After the dive, and the bounce, everyone in the world would have ran to the car and left. But than there would be no movie, alas they need to have people acting dumb and staying. In this particular movie there is also some dishonesty by the writer, since he makes it appear at the end like Dani was tricked by Pelle in flying to Sweden and everything was planned to have a new queen ecc, when in reality her decision to go was accidental, but again if she did not go the director would have no movie. His previous Hereditary was already bad and if I knew it was the same guy I would have passed. It is too long. It is not scary. Someone could find some kind of allegory related to today's society, but you'd really need to have lots of imagination. The way these wacky Swedish are shown I was sure the director would be Danish. At the end I regret having dedicated 150 minutes to this, but I could not sleep and the vision helped me to do it. Merry Xmas!

I am a great fan of BCS and BB but when things happening are too simplified just to make things easier and justify what we have seen in BB I am disappointed. Lalo spends months travelling the world, killing innocent people in Germany and everyone in between then when finally is face to face with Gus acts like a clown playing with his silly camera and ending shot and killed by a guy that usually moves as slow as a sloth? LOL. How handy that the gun Gus used, in the dark, was hidden just in the right place to be used in that particular moment? Vince, please. Let's not even talk about the tension so many rave about, we all know Gus won't die, Saul won't die, Mike won't die and senõr Salamanca will live with his trusty bell for many years to come .For some reason they decided to wrap up this great series in 6 final episodes and now they have the rush to set all the puzzle pieces to justify BB story. So Howard had to go, Lalo had to go like an absolute beginner, soon will be Kim's turn. They also apparently completely forgot about the black and white subplot with Jimmy working in the shopping centre bakery with a new identity shown for years in the previous season at the start of every episode. Let's hope the level will improve with the next episodes. Too easy.

Horrible, stupid, senseless ending. Making Dexter die like that is shameless, and, who knows, they might be so shameless to find a small pulse in his heart and resuscitate him for a new season. Hopefully without Harrison.
