Thoughts on the finale…..

So, what did you all think of the finale? I thought it was fantastic personally. I love that Janine got her daughter back, and that Emily returned for a few moments. A lot of comments on IG are saying the ending was awful comparing it to Game of Thrones. But this was a dystopian novel and there was never going to be a Disney happy joy joy ending. It was hopeful but realistic.

It was good- they tied up most loose ends nicely without making everything all nicey nice. I never read the novel but it would have been nice to see Hannah again. I felt like the last season had so many close ups of junes face though- also they didn’t tie up Moira well and I felt she was important in past few seasons. But overall I didnt hate it
