The ending (sort of spoiler)
I loved the series, except for the ending. Very rushed, I think. Too many loose ends. And yes, I understand that there will probably be a sequel series, but still.
shareI didnt mind the ending. I agree it did end abruptly but I really want a season 2. The show is one of the best have seen in a long time.
shareIt was loose ends in a way.
But Martin left looking into the fire contemplating exactly where the heck he was going to go from THERE was pretty on target. He was back. He repeatedly had vowed his child was not going to grow up without a father, so there he was.
Not sure what other kind of ending there could be for Martin.
You could see the gears going in his head...he had to try to process what he'd been through in the West, the deaths, that world. Then try to mend a relationship with a woman, having his baby, who now was light years away from him in spirit and intent.
After all, he was coerced into going into the West to save his mom's life. But his girlfriend was a "drunk the koolaid" Stasi informant, voluntarily, the type you always heard about who informed all over the place on friends and family when the Stasi was in its heyday.
How does he ever trust her?
The Edel story got an end, too. Even if it was a bit too contrived and too cliff hanger in nature.
We were left wondering who....well. You know. Probably dad, as Alex didn't seem to have time on screen to do that.
Thomas got closure--he's the new coerced agent in Tobias's stable.
The ending could have been worse. Just not sure some finales can have a satisfying ending, due to things that led up to it.
