I thought the finale was a perfect finale. One of the best ever. Poignant, heart-wrenching and ultimately, hopeful.
Let the Mystery Be.
And give ALL the Emmys to Carrie Coon and Justin Theroux.
+1 It really was perfection.
Me, too. Loved it.
That finale last night was one of the best finales ever. I’ll even go as far to say that it’s my favorite finales of all time and my favorite TV series of all time. I cannot stop thinking about it. That show could be so depressing, but it ended as a beautiful love story. Kevin’s face when he finally saw Nora and how he was fighting back tears as he kept to the same script on how he found her was heartbreaking. And their dance together gutted me.
But when he told her that he believed her after she told him what happened to he, and then the final shot with the birds and the goat, was so perfect.
So, did anyone believe Nora’s story? I personally did not.
Oh my god, that dance. I can’t remember the last time I saw actors portray so much emotion without saying a word. They were both amazing.
And yeah, I believed Nora’s story, but I still believe in Christmas miracles, so …
My question is that if the scientist could recreate that machine on the other side, wouldn’t he send other people back?
I still not sure how they were sent there in the 1st place????
Believed her story because she seemed so much more at peace.
Yes, the actors hit it out of the park. I also did not believe her story. The key insight for me was the nun’s comment about storytelling, along with the clear theme of lying in the episode. I think it was the story she needed to embrace in order to heal and be open to Kevin again (and he, knowing how cruel he had been to her in their last encounter, understood). And, oh, the birds and the goat. So beautiful.
I wonder… if it was “real”, that means she went to a place like Kevin’s Hotel after becoming submerged in the Event Chamber – although the liquid was supposed to be a hardening gel. But maybe it was just water, and she had a Kevin-like other world experience. Another possibility is Nora changed her mind at the last minute (the scream) but it was too late, so then the whole rest of the episode was a fantasy she had as she was dying, or perhaps it was all post-death? In which case the first Kevin she invented, the one who’d only met her that one time, was a fantasy that didn’t really work for her, “not true”, so she created the second version, a Kevin in whom she could believe and surrender to. But then again, maybe the whole thing was real, and took place after several years, as implied by their aging faces. Either way, it was an awesome episode with epic performances by Justin and Carrie. Great series. Let the mystery be…
I’m on the side of neither of their journeys being “real,” more like a dreamscape that helped them process their emotional pain. But I agree we were supposed to see them as parallel.
So I’ve been meaning to watch this but have yet found the time required to get into it. Now it’s the finale and I’ve watched a few clips. Amazing … really amazing sometimes wordless acting, as in the dance. Intriguing beguiling are just some adjectives to describe. I must find the time.
I taped it last night so haven’t watched it yet. I’m so glad the comments and reviews are positive! Great series.
Blech. I couldn’t make it past a couple episodes of this show. Tedious and boring. The use of surprise/jump out of your seat loud noises was just overdone and it felt like secular Lost Behind. Nooooooo thanks. Stop trying to make Mr. Aniston happen.
I tried to watch and felt the same. Reading the way the people on this site go on and on about it I thought it was more popular. I don’t ever hear anyone talking about it. And I have gotten tips about a lot of shows from co workers and friends. Anyway maybe it will be a Cult Show as time goes on. Regarding Justin happening.. I think if that were going to occur it would by now. But he seems to be working steady; so that is something
