Wow! This was all i wanted, with all the speculations going on that Darlene's gonna die had me a bit concerned. But hats off to sam esmail. This is my first ever review or rather just 2 paragraphs dedicated to praising sam esmail for the phenomenal job that he has done this season. Not only did this finale manged to give a great throwback to season 1 (the train sequence), but also it finally made sense of all the back to the future references that were highlighted this entire season. It starts off with Dark Army trying to find Elliot which succeeds in building a tension throughout the whole episode. It is followed by a series of groundbreaking revelations and one in particular, about Angela. I did not see that coming and the way that soundtrack progresses had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. And that the scene was merged with the entire barn scene with elliot trying to Threaten and then Negotiate with dark army just worked flawlessly. Irving had one the best character redemptions that i have seen in a long while. It raised many questions about how dom's character is going to be portrayed in season 4 after all she has been through. (YES! WE ARE GETTING A SEASON 4!). Overall this was the most satisfying and shocking finale. And also bravo to USA for having faith in Esmail and his vision. With the ratings suffering a tremendous low this year, USA was bold to renew it. If this show doesn't get at least 10 emmys i am shouting 'This is what democracy looks like' on the emmy carpet lmao.

PS: That superman scene was just brilliant XD
