Monsters and Angels

Don't cancel this series. It's sooo good. Like every good tv series it can take a season to get the characters and stories grounded. This episode was fantastic. Well deserved a 10.

The finale didn't disappoint. No real attempt to artificially end on a cliffhanger. Just wonderful storytelling that consistently supports the great job that went into the previous 9 episodes.

Harriet Dyer continues to do a great job of portraying her character as do the others but she has to do the lion's share of the heavy lifting because she is the focus of the series. But that is not to undersell the contributions of her foster father, his husband, his partner, and the season's villain Sean Bolger.

I love the storytelling if you haven't got that from me before. All the main characters are beautifully drawn and get well rounded treatment. The recurring characters too don't get shortchanged in their limited appearances except for maybe Anne Marie Johnson, the captain of the precinct, but that is not a criticism. There are only so many characters you can attempt to fully realize.

It frustrates me that this kind of artful series doesn't get a lot more support. It's not treacly sweet, and it doesn't go out of its way to try and shock. Just perfect storytelling and beautifully balanced acting.

Here's hoping it gets a second season.

The overall rate is 6.9/10, which makes it very underrated and it really deserves more .. especially, after this finale.

I hope they won't make the mistake that we are afraid of, which is canceling it because of low rates and small and yet to grow fan base

If my hopes come true and it gets the approval for a 2nd season, please, put more focus on the main character (Cassie) while the actress is really doing a good job in it, less focus should be made on the detectives and other matters

AGAIN, PLEASE GO AHEAD WITH ANOTHER SEASON !

UPDATE : IT LOOKS LIKE THEY DID IT AND REALLY CANCELLED IT! VERY BIG MISTAKE .. AND VERY BIG DISAPPOINTMENT ..

This episode was really well done! You can see the series becoming more complex which is great! I was pleasantly surprised that they dealt with the Ed story line so quickly and it didn't drag out. The ending actually sent shivers down my spine. Looking forward to the next episode.
