Fallen

Oh man...Where do I start? Before I even watched the episode, I decided I should check the reviews first (without reading any spoilers) and when I saw the episode had a score around 6.5 on IMDB I was a little worried about that season finale.

Now that i've actually finished the entire tv show, I'm ready for my review.

The finale episode of Servant is actually really well written and I enjoyed how the series ended. I truly did.

That said, the episode needed waaayyy more attention to CGI to impact the viewers the way they hoped to. The CGI in the season finale is always so bad that can actually distract you from what's happening on the screen - it's just sad to watch that a TV show that was so well executed for 4 consecutive seasons ending like this.

Yet still, I'll always remember Servant as this weird but pretty amazing TV show for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone involved into making this show happen.

I never understood why I liked Servant. Maybe it was all about the atmosphere. The house, the food, the wine, the silence, the rotten teeth of uncle George. We are a few lonely viewers. Just like the Turners are a lonely family. They don't even have a pet. Dorothy followed a bumpy yellow brick road but scarecrow, tin man and lion found her a little bit annoying and ran away. She found a dark Wizard of OZ and her silent wish became true, but with a price. Just like "Pet Cemetery". The show had a disappointing burial. Deep inside we knew this would happen. And that's ok. Will we remember this show five years from know? Don't answer. Let them Rest in Peace.

I have loved this show from start to finish. The development that led to this finale was so good to watch and was very well structured. I didn't want this show to end, but I knew it had to eventually, however, it delivered in the finale episode. The final episode wove together all the elements that had been introduced and perfectly concluded them in a satisfying manner. The show ended with more to be desired by the viewers, however it was still a good ending that provided all the elements needed for a good ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and this show. I hope M. Night. Shyamalan makes more shows like this one.

The Episode's Premise (as well as the previous 2) is that a Storm is growing over Philadelphia that's going to keep getting worse because of Leeane. The Description says "The World is Crumbling" but without that you wouldn't even think it was. Then there's the nonsense actions that the characters take and the dialogue that tries to sound meaningful (like they're actually resolving things) but they don't. On top of that, this episode is very slow despite it being one of the longest runtimes of the series.

You will feel angry at the end. Angry at what happens, angry at the hours of your life you invested in this garbage that you'll never get back and angry because you know you could have written a better ending with minimal effort.

This season retcon'd Leeane's whole character too. She sent her Resume to the Turners BEFORE Jericho died and she was fine with leaving them to help another family at the end of Season 1, but suddenly she's got a lifelong obsession with Dorothy (who she did NOT protect at the end of Season 3 from falling) and now all Leeane cares about is validation from Dorothy (who drugged her, kidnapped her and almost killed her)?

This is just another failure to add to the pile of M. Night's disastrously bad career, yet somehow people still call him "Great" with a less than 20% success rate.

A great catch! A mystery that will keep viewers hooked... A mysterious trail of breadcrumbs leading up to an epic finale!.... I really wish that were the case. Unfortunately, it isn't.

Oh boy did they drop the ball. They really milked it, 4 damn seasons!

Hell, I could have come up with 5 better endings off the top of my head if I was awoken from a drunken stupor.

The show was masterful in so many ways, Direction, Cinematography, Acting (Rupert G is outstanding)! The Food!

But it went the way of shows like "Lost" and "GOT" and just tripped over its own ego at full pace and face-planted the floor.

Writers these days seem to believe it's clever if they are vague leaving no questions answered. So much so that it's become a cliche, more so than simply having all the strings lead to a neatly wrapped conclusion. What are these writers holding back for?
