Ariadne

I do not want to give anything away but I've watched it three times and honestly it's now one of my top favorite works of fiction. It's so human. The women, especially Natasha Lyonne, behind creating this story are brilliant. I know for a fact I will re watch it more over the years.

Opens to dual music, dual bathrooms and mirrored action between Nadia and Alan. The mirrors and people return, so too Alan's ring and goldfish. Clearly something has changed about this resurrection involving duality.

We quickly learn there are now dichotomous timelines. Having slain the Minotaur of time, each must become Ariadne to help the other's Theseus escape the Labyrinth. Together they are trapped by the horns of duality; Nadia must escape fear (mother's death), and Alan love ( hopelessness relationship).

A well-rounded closure with props to Natasha Lyonne who wrote, directed and starred in this - nearly as narcissistic as her character ;-)

This series has had be gripped, captivated, moved and totally entertained. The previous episode, and this concluding part are the best of the series in my opinion. This last part was just incredible, wonderfully clever, smart, and had you captive til the very last minute.

It was bursting with energy, superbly acted, and utterly, utterly original. Many will say it has a Black Mirror vibe, naturally so, think Black Mirror meets Triangle.

This was just outrageously good. 10/10

One of my many bugbears is that a lot of series don't know how to end. This is the exception. "Ariadne" is a glorious, emotional, sincere and gripping slice of television.

From the word go, there is a positive energy and glow that envelops the viewer. This is intelligent storytelling, brave and ingenious.

Just a joy to watch, this is a 10 out of 10 episode.

I don't want to talk about "blablabla, it's one of the greatest series ever..." because it sets up to much expectations... But neither if I want to talk about this or not - there is no other way to put it - it's one of the greatest series I've ever seen. I already enjoyed it like 10 times and everytime I see it, I see more: more in the story line, more fun, more sadnes, more that is a reference to my own life. I really hope you are reading this review AFTER you watched it to find out, if other people feel like you. If your experience is different... I can understand if this (maybe little bit strange content) is not appealing to everyone. But this series makes me smile, laugh and cry everytime I see it. I just love it.
