On the surface the show only appears to be an onslought in a game of survival. That was my first opinion of this show, so I waited to watch it for 3 years. There is violence and debauchery throughout 'this world' they are in. So some may hold off from watching this show for that reason, which I wouldn't blame if they deciced to not watch it. It is heartbreaking and twisted. 2 weeks ago my sister suggested I should watch it after she watched the last episode, as she knew I would most likely watch just for the ending. I would not have expected where they are, and it exceded what I had initially thought of. To me the ending was everything, it was complete and I wouldn't expect more. Where they were and how this place affects them, is beautiful. This game is twisted, but reveals to them who they truly are, and just maybe who they want to be. You don't find many movies or shows that touch your soul, because most do not have meaning that move you to tears. After I sat down and watched the last episode and said wow, I could not stop thinking about it... I had to say goodbye to a show I never thought I would watch... I had to say goodbye to two characters I began to love and understand. You don't find many love stories, but this one is precious. They met each other in purgatory and came back because of the will to live they had instilled in esch other. How? The power of love. That to me is profound. Their souls were searching for each other in purgatory, the border between life and death. I could say more, because there is so much more I could say if I wished to, but I will keep it to this. This show somehow and in someway touched my soul, and just maybe changed something inside of me.
