Is it worth it

The finale the 2021 season did not need. Six episodes, one genuinely great game, and a conclusion that mistakes cruelty for meaning. The baby subplot asks for an emotional investment the writing has not earned, and the Front Man arc resolves on a shrug. Lee Jung Jae is still committed and the production is still immaculate, which makes the hollowness worse rather than better. Watch it to finish what you started, not because it is good.

Comfort rewatchNo

Hooks early Episode 1. It picks up mid-collapse, and the second hour is the strongest of the six.
