IF I NEED REPENTANCE IMMA GO TO CHURCH, IMMA READ THE BIBLE.
It’s as if the screenwriter—who, for the most part, has a brilliant mind—is secretly a recovering addict who had it together for the first 15.5 episodes, only to suffer a full-blown relapse for the finale. It feels like they went on a week-long, 24-hour-a-day meth, crack, and every other brain-frying drug binge where they lost all common sense, sanity, and sense of self and self-respect.But seriously, WHO LET THIS GET TO PRODUCTION?
Was the entire production team on a shared, drug-induced bender together and just happened to accidentally press "send to network"? Did nobody read the script for Episode 16 and ask, "Wait, does this make any logical sense?"
How do you fumble a show this badly?!
The sheer volume of plot holes is mind-boggling, and the time incongruencies are absolutely sickening. To spend 15 hours building an absolutely magnificent corporate thriller with some of the best character dynamics on television, only to throw it all in a blender and serve us a lazy, moralizing "coma dream of repentance."
IF I NEED REPENTANCE IMMA GO TO CHURCH, IMMA READ THE BIBLE. This an insult to the viewers' intelligence. I am judging all reviews with anything less than 4 (off of the strength of the 15 other episodes).
The first 15 episodes are a flawless 10/10. Then Episode 16 happens, and I am sitting here feeling like I am literally going to hurl. Episode 16 is the drunk uncle who ruins the family get together and makes what was a good memory one you would rather not remember.
If anyone tries to defend this ending, I can never trust their taste in television again.
If you do however still have the inclination to watch this, do yourself a favour: watch up to about Episode 15.5, pretend the screen went black, and make up your own ending. It will be infinitely better than the garbage fire they broadcast.
