The second half of The Nevers only season was, for the most part, still excellent. But there were some issues, with some strange character turns and some rather perplexing sequences. But still, for the most part it was still quite exciting and entertaining.
But the final episode was deeply flawed. It wasn't just that it was so dispiriting, although honestly I wish it weren't even if it *didn't* turn out to be the series ender (not the maker's fault - they thought they were coming back, not knowing HBO was on the verge of massacring a lot of its best shows.
But there were issues beyond that, many coming from some of the odder plot decisions of previous episodes in which some characters seemed to have surprising character alterations and the galanthi seemed to become less explicable as it became visually clearer.
Some of the finale was just dumb, like the unlikely sense of security the touched developed after everything that had happened before. Some of it was frustrating. And some of it was riveting (Amy Manson was in particularly good form).
It wasn't a terrible episode, but it was a bad note to go out on. Bye-bye Nevers.
