Just finished.
I agree this did nothing to advance the story. It was still good but just not up to the prior seasons.
It was like the writers couldn't come up with anything but found the best cinematographer they could and cleared out. He or she is brilliant.
I know I'm in the minority but Sydney does nothing for me. Shes the weak link in the show imo. I know I know.
Outside of her every actor was nails. You think, man the main characters are great then boom here come 2 minutes of Oliver Platt doing what he does. Stealing every scene he's ever been in for the last 30 years.
Finale, fuck I love Olivia Coleman. She brings grace, to everything.
The music was once again phenomenal. Ending with the hometown band Smashing Pumpkins scratched me right where I itched.
Let's finish strong .
