The ending itself is fine, the pacing could have used some work, and the show suffers a bit cause the strongest episodes are in the middle, but 90's sci fy show either shows someone too young is reaching for lazy criticism, or it's a sign of early onset dementia.




The choreographing and action of the last episode was just bad. I realize that in these types of shows and movies that you have to suspend belief, which I have no problem doing, but the big zombie attack reminded me of Ernest Scared Stupid when the trolls and the people start going at it. Just not acted or staged well at all. And the ridiculous timely rescues were silly.

I stand corrected. I was thinking Flanagan's Midnight Club.


frick.

Every fricking show I watch on a streamer is getting killed before it gets it's ending.

1899, Midnight Club, Pennyworth...

Just finished it, what a ride.

SPOILERS:












A demon/vampire under the pretense of a man of faith believing it’s an Angel is a hell of a story. Pruitt really thought he was doing good. Wild how he could basically just turn anything insane into a test or passage talked about in the Bible is brutal.


Riley sacrificing himself and then shown with the girl he killed going up into Heaven as a redemption arc was outstanding.

Loved Greene slashing its wings as a frick you to the main Vamp while it fed so it couldn’t go anywhere else.

Felt bad for the sheriff, dude watched his kid turn and then died himself trying to protect the people.

Flanagan is pretty much undefeated.

Episode 6 was incredible and worth it to watch the whole show.















Spoilers










The head Vamp at the alter with the priest outfit on beckoning the believers to come to turn everyone was really well done.

Watched it over the last 2 weekends and I thought it was really good. Had flaws (that could have been fixed and needed some more ambiguity about the demon-vampire) but was good.

I'm reading this old thread and laughing at people melting down over it.

They're even calling it anti-Christian which is lol-worthy.

A lot of existential debate that becomes fairly inconsequential

Wait wut.

I mean the Erin-Riley stuff could have been shortened but the various characters and their view of faith was central until the literal end.
