Like Romeo and Juliet, all lovers find thereself eventually. Was all in all a really nice season final:)

I am continually amazed at this realistic portrayal of ASD. I am not a drama-lover. But this show, its like seeing the way things should be. One day, hopefully ASDs will just be another part of 'humans'...not something less-than. This episode had the same extraordinaire level of acting from the entire ensemble. ...and I watched it twice. That rare for me...and I wont give away any spoilers, but the end...wow, this the first show, I have ever seen where a man is portrayed as openly, genuinely ecstatic to be in a loving relationship. Great work.

The best series by far at the moment, we look forward to the wedding next season.

I just watched closing episodes 19 and 20 and I really don't understand people who say that the setting was bad. I am Peruvian and I can say that at least in my country and many other Latin countries in which I have been to, in the small and remote towns (remember that it was supposed to be a small and remote town) things look quite like that, although I must suggest to stop using dolls when it comes to babies, because they kill the WHOLE mood.

Happy for Shaun, Lea, Lim, Morgan and Park, sad for Claire. The only thing I can say is that for season 5, try to open up the series more, to make it more interesting and not so drab (I feel like this is how season 4 has felt, as it has been all about Shea). Because the charm of the series used to be the thrill of seeing the very particular way in which Shaun faced DIFFERENT real life situations and now that everything you show has to do with Lea, that charm is gone!!! I love Shea♥, but try to show more diversity of situations and experiences of Shaun's life, and please show and exploit more characters, because this season for example you left Glassy quite aside and he was my fav character .....

Also, I am writing this with tears in my eyes. The song "Hasta la Raíz" that you put on at the end of the episode was the favorite song of an aunt of mine who passed away last year. You guys really made me cry.

I think you guys nailed it with the season finale. I just hope it's the good starting point that the series needs to resurface in season 5, you need to get it back to its essence, the esssence that the audience loved so much during the first 3 seasons. I'm sure you can♥♥♥.

Oh my heart! I know it's super cheesy but it's sooo sweet🙂

I thought this was a good way to tie up the series and in such a way that if the show is not picked up for another season, at least this episode will be a fitting ending to what has been an amazing series with brilliant acting and great stories.

It would be hard to keep the narrative going as strongly as it has been and I see that Freddie Highmore has worked on different projects like "Leonardo" alongside Aidan Turner. Maybe it's time to go now and not squeeze the life out of a really wonderful show.

Cliched and self-congratulatory. They even went with the Yellow Tint filter to depict a Latin American country. Again, cliched and lazy.

Disappointed that Claire is leaving, but not as much as when Melendez was killed off.

Doctors caring about people? What a concept. Diversity a good thing? Yes. Drama in the operating room? I would assume that really happens, since it's often a matter of life and death. Lots of reviewers writing this off as woke? My guess is they are not going forward, the overall lesson of this episode.

I love that it has no subtitles and has no apologies. This one is great. I think it is critical that people learn other languages, or least learn an intuition for other languages, as well as empathy and compassion. I commend the producers, production crew, writers, editors and everyone else involved. This is really an achievement!

"Vamos" concludes the two-part season finale with the team still in Guatemala, facing the emotional and professional challenges of deciding which patients will receive life-saving surgeries. The episode builds on the themes introduced in "Venga," focusing on the moral dilemmas the characters face as they confront the limitations of their resources and the impossible choices they must make. The emotional stakes are high, as each doctor grapples with the weight of their decisions.

Mike Listo's direction maintains the intensity and urgency of the previous episode, while also allowing for quieter moments of reflection. The pacing is deliberate, with the episode building to a tense climax as the doctors make their final decisions. The writing by Liz Friedman and David Shore is poignant, exploring the moral complexities of the situation without offering easy answers. The episode's emotional core lies in its exploration of empathy, guilt, and the burden of responsibility.

Visually, "Vamos" continues the vibrant, colorful aesthetic of "Venga," with the Guatemalan landscape providing a striking backdrop to the medical drama. The handheld camera work adds to the sense of immersion, particularly during the surgery scenes, where the tension is palpable. The editing is sharp, with quick cuts during the more intense moments and slower, lingering shots during the emotional beats, allowing the audience to absorb the gravity of the situation.

The most emotionally charged scene occurs when Shaun is forced to decide which patient will receive a life-saving surgery. Freddie Highmore's performance is deeply affecting, as Shaun wrestles with the weight of his decision. The scene is shot in close-up, with the camera focusing on Shaun's internal struggle, capturing the emotional complexity of the moment. The sound design is minimal, allowing the silence to emphasize the gravity of the choice Shaun must make. And after losing Melendez at the end of the third season, the series says goodbye to another of its most complex and beloved characters. It remains to be seen what consequences this will have for the following seasons of the series.

"Vamos" delivers a powerful conclusion to the season, though it struggles to provide closure for all the characters' storylines. The moral dilemmas at the heart of the episode are compelling, but the large ensemble cast means that some characters' arcs feel underdeveloped. Despite these minor shortcomings, "Vamos" is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant episode that leaves viewers reflecting on the ethical complexities of medicine and the human cost of impossible choices.

I liked not to give us very sad finale in this season like what happened in season 3 and dramatic death of Niel Melendez.

But i couldn't like the travelening to Guatemala where the uncle sam gives his f**n chairity to these poor people.

It is very unpleasnt to see uncle sam f**n idiotic policies to economically kill the nation and he goes to this nation to spread his chairty to his own victims and we should feel apreciated to him.

I liked all actors performances but i couldn't get tears to emotional real good scenes.

And what the hell of this yellow thing every where we go to latin america,it is just stupid.
