What I'm watching
Below - second half
Okay, I LOVED the first five episodes of Below. The giant squid monster is legit terrifying and the characters are great. The Newfoundland accent and speech patterns are delightful and I was completely invested in the show. So much that we put off watching the last episode to draw out the suspense and not have it end so fast.
But then we watched the finale. Which, Iām sad to report was really rather a letdown. Itās like they realized they had to end it (maybe sooner than theyād planned?) and they couldnāt figure out how to do it properly so they justā¦wrapped it up. Too neatly andā¦kind of boringly. I donāt know whether they ran out of budget or creative ideas or what.
Donāt get me wrongāI love a HEA. I read romance, for heavenās sake. Iām a big fan of wrapping everything up with everyone happy with where they are and who theyāre with.
But this ending almost didnāt make sense. And itās almost like thereās an entire episode between the main part of the finale and the last scene or two thatās missing. I wonāt spoil the whole show by asking the questions I have here. And Iām still glad I watched it because the rest of the episodes were worth it. Iāll justā¦pretend itās not over yet, I guess.
In the final scene, the two main characters go out on a boat and see two giant icebergs some distance away and thereās some ominous music so maybe thatās meant to be a cliffhanger for a season 2? I dunno.
