Alter (2021) Episode 8: Finale

I don't know if it's because of the most recent issue against Buknoy (who was made to apologize and got suspended and penalized by the production company for defaming Vice Ganda, one the the Philippines' foremost queer actor, comedian, and host; Ion Perez, Vice Ganda's boyfriend; and Awra Briguela, award-winning queer actor and comedian), but Episode 8: Finale was rushed with lots of gaps and jumps. Suddenly, Elmo and Sarah were ok with each other. The only issue resolved on this episode was between Elmo and his father. Nobody knows what happened to Jessie and Nathan. And out of nowhere, Elmo has a new boyfriend, Harold. Screenplay was bad. Of the countless more qualified trans people that could have been quoted, the screenwriter parroted conservative Caitlyn Jenner. Horrendous. There were no improvements in terms of acting. Audio-visuals were still weak. Overall, it was a terrible finale. I'm just glad this series is over.
