- Epic framing device to begin this season with this finale's opening. You really get the sense of tragic history unfolding before your eyes.
- The soundtrack is really something. Usually it's subdued but it comes out when it needs to.
- it's really uncomfortable watching frank and meets fiddle with an atomic bomb
- lolwut the music?!
- Meeks and Franks' interactions in this are the highlight of the season.
Season 2 >>> Season 1. The stakes are so much higher.
- Holy shit everything coming to a head. I hope Fritz doesn't find out the truth - it's too heartbreaking.
- Seeing the soldiers pray before the bomb test is just strange.
- NO MEEKS WHY. JESUS FUCK WHY.
What a disturbing ass way to end the season. Ominous as fuck.
Series summed up in one macro:
We really need a renewal. I don't want the series to end on such a downer note. There's so much more they could explore - the cold war spy games, for one thing.
The Knick, The Americans, and Manhattan are three great TV shows airing right now that are super underappreciated. All 3 deserve a bigger audience than they hold. I don't know why so few people are watching - perhaps their cable networks are just unknown to viewers.
