Well, I really enjoyed this series—it’s like Silo except above ground and with interesting characters and plots. [Select from one of a variety of emojis never seen in these parts]

At least at one point in the show, Fassbinder makes a face (that I remember from Shame) that reads to me "i am so in over my head and i really like it!!!". So I enjoyed how that played out in the finale.

It was a little too neat to have rescued Coyote AND execute Operation Felix, but the scene was really fun to watch.

I'm just not buying the chemistry between Samia and Martian. Sorry. I know Martian is damaged and all but he just seems so much more human with his daughter than with Samia. "Loverboy" is right, all they do is get in bed and then Martian has to run off.

Also, if they had to work on Martian's skull after the "crash," his head needs to be shaved for believability. Like come on... How did Naomi not catch that.

I agree, it was supremely neat how everything slotted into place, but I thought this was an excellent ending to a fantastic show. The British betrayal was gut-wrenching.

I enjoyed this show quite a bit and now I'm wondering if I should circle back and watch The Bureau. I'm OK with just the US version of this though.

Michael Fassbinder is hard for me to watch. He has all the charisma of a wet cardboard box.

Loved all the other cast though. And the writing for the season is just a little too much. Like obviously the whole Iran plot could have been left out but I liked it so much! And it was a nice counterpoint to the other stories. I think Samia's story was the weakest, mostly because it didn't go anywhere exactly. I loved the actress and her role the first couple of episodes and then it just tapered off.

Didn't love the twist at the end with the British service but eh, it's part of the story.
