9/10
The brilliant ending to this brilliant miniseries
19 December 2023
Episode 7/7 finally explains the murder(s) at the end of the world. It was co-written by the show's co-creator and co-star, Brit Marling. And it was directed by its co-writer and her co-creator, Zal Batmanglij. I'm not going to give away the plot "twists" that are revealed, but suffice to say one of our society's biggest technological fears right now is to blame, and we as society share in that. The miniseries ends, as it began, with the Emma Corrin character of Darby Hart reading from her latest book describing her sleuthing at an event (attended this time by many surviving members of Clive Owen's character, Andy's, icy retreat). Although we learn that Andy's in jail, we also hear that authorities are at a loss (as they so often are today for many cybercrimes) on how to dole out punishment for the fatalities. In simpler times, assigning accountability was problematic; nowadays it's positively inscrutable. I give this installment a 9/10, and I very much look forward to the next collaboration from Brit and Zal. Their "science fiction" is a cut above!
