Overview
- The season-ending episode closes the immediate hostage narrative while deliberately keeping the broader menace in play.
- Showrunner commentary frames the antagonist’s reach as a sustained, behind‑bars manipulation that connects to earlier events.
- Reviewers credit striking visuals, an evocative score, and Idris Elba’s grounded lead performance.
- Criticism centers on slack pacing and contrivances that some say stretch a feature‑length premise across eight episodes.
- The finale’s design leaves clear runway for future installments without confirming specific next steps.
