The Man Who Kept the Secrets

Very goodThis episode is absolutely amazing! Right from the start, it draws you in with intense suspense and keeps you hooked until the very end. The pacing is perfect, balancing action with moments of emotional depth. The performances are incredible, with the actors really bringing their characters to life in ways that make you care deeply about their journey. There are unexpected twists that leave you speechless, and the cinematography adds an extra layer of excitement. The writing is sharp, keeping you engaged with every line of dialogue. This episode sets the bar high and is a must-watch!!

After last week's episode, this episode started off slowly. Some questions about who killed the president and why will be answered. You will be surprised by who it is and why it happened. The clues from earlier in the season tie together here and leads Xavier to an answer. Once that's revealed in the episode, the writing sets up more questions that pique our interest and set up Season 2. By the time the episode ended and the credits rolled, I was wondering when is Season 2? It can't happen fast enough.

The episode sets up the cliffhanger for what's next. No spoilers again in this review because it's best if you don't know before you watch this. You won't be disappointed. I would give this episode 9.5 after last week's hands down 10. But it is a great ending and some closure to Season 1. Can't wait for Season 2 to drop.

On the title alone I would have given it a miss. On the surface what appeared to be a murder mystery thriller turned into something quite different. Some solid performances from stalwarts such as James Marsden, Sarah Shahi & Sterling Brown. And a few newcomers to watch out for in Aaliyah Mastin & Nicole Brydon Bloom. I came in at the penultimate episode and was hooked. I watched entire series over a week. Slow burn. Characters strong. Storyline unpredictable. Wrapped up nicely in the last episode. Set it up well for next series.

I can't wait for season two. My sister and I have enjoyed this series so much. I won't give anything away. This was a well written and thought out story. It is a must see because it leaves you guessing and you won't figure things out until they are revealed. Most actors I have never seen before. I'm sure it won't be the last I see of them. The lead character's did an excellent job portraying their characters. James Marsden who plays the president did a great job but my favorite was Sterling K. Brown who played the lead character Xavier Collin's. He is great in this series. I just can't wait until season 2 is here!

This finale was a masterclass in storytelling, wrapping up intricate plotlines with grace and emotional resonance. The conclusion felt earned-nothing was rushed, and every twist reflected the show's meticulous planning. It was a thoughtful, emotionally charged send-off that honored the themes and character arcs, proving that great storytelling is about tying up loose ends with purpose and heart. While the writing left the audience in suspense, it struck the perfect balance, building excitement for the next season without leaving us hanging too much. Can't wait to see what Sterling discovers in the outside world!
