As someone who is not familiar with the source material, I cannot make my review based on that, so I found this finale to be a solid finish to an overall wonderfully mysterious first season. This episode wraps up a few loose ends, answers a couple questions while presenting new ones to be answered in future seasons, and establishes just how little we (non-readers) still know about the lore. This adds a lot of potential and anticipation for it's second season. Rebecca Ferguson is excellent as Juliette and I'm very fascinated with her character whenever she's on screen. Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche are all great in their roles as well, though I'm not quite sold on Common yet. The last few episodes were gripping enough, but this finale really drove it home. I think this is Apple TV's next hit!
