Really?? (I mean about the finale, not the ensemble acting, I knew about that...)
I have fairly unsophisticated tastes in fiction. I kind of like the characters' lives not to suck the way real people's lives do. I hoped for so much...exploration of the unforeseen consequences of *really* controlling guns in America, *really* putting money into education, *really* addressing the evils of poverty. It was a blow to realise that they couldn't be allowed to make *any* difference at all. In a way the brilliance of the acting makes it worse: well-acted frustration, disappointment and rage hurts more.
But, if they've actually managed to achieve something by season end, maybe there's some hope...
