I’m someone who didn’t like the show up to this point, but I think the finale did kind of save it for me? I at least really admire what it was trying to do; I think the unsettling nature of the whole story kind of came together in the end. It did feel “evil” to me, the payoff of Osha being the one to strangle Sol to death in Jonestown just feels dark and appropriately uncomfortable, even if it wasn’t fully earned.

But yeah, it’s very weird and bad throughout, Osha and Mae never really work as characters, but I’m sold enough on this as the relatively mundane start of a secret rotting that informs the whole saga. It’s intimate with big implications, deceptively fucked up. I think that feeling it leaves me with is generally just a fun impression. I had fun with a trashy show.
