“We’re in a pickle.”
Prodigal Son has seemingly come to an finish, we are able to hope some streaming service swoops in to reserve it however, for now, it is wanting like that is goodbye. And although I would at all times need extra of this present, I can not say it is a unhealthy manner for it to go. If that is the place it ends, I’ll treasure it eternally and advocate it to anybody who’ll hear, as a result of it was entertaining, partaking, and stuffed with superb performances all through.
On this episode, it was enjoyable to see Malcolm reluctantly having to confess that his dad’s logic appeared stable greater than as soon as, and it was clear that Martin was manipulating him into one final massive journey earlier than making an attempt to deliver him in, but it surely was a lot enjoyable to see them work collectively, this time unrestricted (typically).
Within the meantime, Gil was doing his finest to provide Malcolm time and clear his title. Fortunately, with Jessica’s assist, they managed to get Vivian, which was additionally a lot enjoyable. I simply love Jessica and the way she’s by no means the damsel in misery. It was additionally nice seeing Ainsley work with TJ and Dani although she did take the backseat somewhat on this finale.
They managed to have a case of the week with Martin convincing Malcolm to save lots of a woman kidnapped by a serial killer, and we had Anna Gunn as soon as once more taking part in the spouse of a monster. The case did not take a lot away from our beloved characters, it was truly good for character growth which is one thing I at all times hoped for this present, it solely is smart that this time they nailed it completely, particularly with Malcolm asking his father to torture the Woodsman to save lots of the woman, and his hand seeming to remain nonetheless as if he was lastly accepting his father in a manner.
It was nice to see the push and pull between the person Martin wished to persuade himself he was now and the person Malcolm knew him to be, although I do not actually purchase Martin’s intention of killing his son, it truly makes extra sense that he bought precisely what he wished, to show to Malcolm (in his personal twisted thoughts) that they have been the identical, even when it price him his life.
I do know this might be thought-about a cliffhanger however I do not totally see it that manner, I do assume if the present have been to go on Martin must survive, as a result of the present would by no means be the identical with out Michael Sheen. However, if that is the tip, I can see the prodigal son lastly killing the daddy, his personal private demon, as a becoming conclusion. And I am certain it might be simply seen that Malcolm acted in self-defense which is why I do not assume he must face authorized penalties, although he would not have the ability to escape psychological ones.
“Even when it kills me.”
What did you concentrate on the finale? Are you glad? Let me know within the feedback.
