Finale

I find the ending of season five incredibly disappointing for so many reasons. Rather than delivering a finale that pushed the plot into unsuspected realms of thought provoking complexity, especially given its former unpredictable narrative trajectory, it felt like the finale was finished more for the sake of wrapping things up nicely, eliminating any complexity, rather than to truly challenge the story and return true closure to characters initially depicted in thought provoking ways. Instead of Joe being his unpredictable self, with all its insanity and dark undertones, Joe reined it in to calm, boring Joe after this build-up. The story had enormous tension build-up and high hopes of character introspection, yet fell flat and fell back on tired tropes we've seen countless times before. There was no shocking or grand twist that deserves the weight of the season into a necessary powerful conclusion with emotional heft. The writers appeared to be taking a route of least resistance rather than risking the outcome of truly daring conclusion. Instead of finishing with whatever shocks fans to compliment to overwhelming viewers positively shock, it left me unsatisfied, uninspired, and forgetting its potential.

Collectively, I couldn't help but feel disappointed as the narrative and story did not have the final punch that contained promise built throughout the seasons. While its plot line was enormous and entertaining, the ending left me thinking it will not inform thought you would expect from the finale after seeing some promise with narrative development built into the writing. It didn't make you rethink and feel compelled that a story should really stand out, yet somehow this ending stripped any bite left from the plot, leaving useless void of an anticlimax with overwhelming disappointment, which is why I was truly dissatisfied.

It was if they didn't know how to end it, asked ChatGPT what the final season should be, and went with the first idea it spit out.

To make matters worse, they did this weird 4th wall breaking "moment" that attempts to teach the audience something we all already knew: Joe is the antagonist in the story and deserves what he gets.

I kept getting this sense that they were attempting to subvert the audiences expectations. But because we already knew what was supposed to happen, it didn't subvert at all, fell flat, and gave us an empty finale that didn't do justice to the 4 incredible seasons that came before it.

This one will definitely into the same category of Game of Thrones-where the audience's intelligence is mocked and the finale spits out a dud.

This is so painful. I never thought I'd rate my favorite show 1 star but this finale felt like a stab in the back ..why just why?

I've been a major fan for this series since 2022 I made a lot of people watch it. And now I regret it.. I finished this season in one night And when a song by mitski started playing my exceptions reached the sky for this finale ..out of all endings. They somehow made it worse than the ending of New blood and I'm not saying I want Joe to win .. but this ending felt so forced they ran of ideas ..and not to talk about these girls having super powers and Joe getting fooled twice? TWICE? Like hello?? That isn't the Joe in season 3 and 4.. that's so disrespectful for the fans to end it like that ..let alone trying to make the ending so humiliating for joe just to make it funny..and it was so bad Good job writers ruining this masterpiece.

They should've ended it at 9. Everything after that felt like a fever dream that kept getting worse the more I tried to make sense of it. It's like they took everything we loved-the characters, the arcs, the emotional stakes-and just threw them out for the sake of shock value. I kept hoping it would redeem itself, that there was a bigger plan behind the madness, but that moment never came. The writing felt hollow, like they lost touch with what made the story special in the first place. Characters made choices that made no sense, like they were being controlled by a different writer who never watched the earlier seasons. It didn't feel like a natural conclusion-it felt like a cheap trick, an ending designed to stir reactions rather than deliver meaning. As a fan who was truly invested, it hurts more than just being disappointed. It feels like betrayal.

Such a dark series doesn't deserve a happy ending!

Why do we have to put a happy ending to almost every dark series or movies?! Why do we have to kid ourselves that Evil doesn't win almost all the time in the real world. Especially at the current time we live in. Who ever says it's to bring hope to people that bad people and bad deeds will be punished is just lying. We don't need a lie to cover the reality and it's not even helping.

Too many bad decisions happened in the finale that normally Joe wouldn't have done. They were just too convenient for the plot to bring it to that closure. I hate such bad endings to good series and I bet you do too. Well it's another series that didn't stick the landing.
