This season did nothing for me, sad since last season was so great. I guess that's how it goes when you can have great ideas but no clue how to finish them.

I honestly think they did exactly what they said they were going to from the start. Albeit in a weird as hell, trippy way at times. The show was about the people left behind, and the human condition of coping in that scenario. It wasn't about where the others went, or why, or anything else. In the end, Kevin and Nora, were finally comfortable being where they were at, in that world, together. I think Nora was lying about the other world, but I don't think it really matters, that was either what happened, or what she convinced herself of that allowed her to keep going in her own life. I enjoyed the show, it had me looking forward to each week, the other worlds/purgatory/supernatural stuff was awesome, but the people (mostly Kevin and Nora) were what it ended up being about. Just my opinion, I enjoyed it.

So I might be in the minority, This show was fantastic and one of the best shows that I have ever watched. Its already being acclaimed as one of the best shows of this decade. The constant inner battle of perception and reality and never knowing the difference was the draw for me. The very end scene of the doves returning was a perfect last shot, symbolism of peace and a new beginning with the unknown with it's biblical undertones.

I definitely enjoyed watching it, just wanted more at the end. What exactly I mean by "more" is anybody's guess though.

I didn't understand why a show that's all trippy and shit ended the show like it was some love story. Like come on do some crazy shit to end it.

Such a fan of the first two seasons. I was let down this one.
