I can’t believe oliveras’ fate is left hanging in the balance

Warning! This Review Contains Spoilers for Countdown Season 1, Episode 13.Countdown Season 1 ends partly How to Expect it, and partly in a major cliffhanger ending that I did not see that before the final episode. Over the Course of the Season, It Became Clear That The Two Most Important Characters in the Show Were Jensen Ackles’ Mark Meachum and Jessica Camacho’s Amber Olivelas. Accordingly, the final focuses on say.

Meachum and oliveras Clearly Still have Feelings for One Another Despite Her Being in A Relationship. While the romantic aspect is key to the episode, oliveras is also important to season 1’s final hour due to the roles she plays in the finals villain storyline. As for the rest of the cast, shepherd discovers her sister is in a choma.

Aside from the task force, Countdown Season 1’s Final BRings Along Some Some Major Twists for Todd – Revealed to Be Set – The Show’s Current Main Villain. Like Volchek Earlier in The Season, Set Had Proven Himself to Be A Few Steps Ahead of the Team, and I Liked How the Final Explained the Reason for That, Giving the Villain a Win.

Meachum and oliveras’ posseible romance gets a Major moment

First, I wanted to delve into the new romance tease for meachum and olivelas. Ackles and Camacho Have Had Sizzling Chemistry All SEASON, SOHILE IT MADE SENSE FOR A ROMANTIC STEP TO COME IN THE FINAL, ROOTING THE HOUR IN THE VILLAIN’S Story WORKED BETTER AS A FINAL.

Still, there was Enough of a Movement forward with meachum and oliveras to make fans of the Possible Couple Happy. I was proud of meachum’s ability to open up to oliveras About His Feelings for Her and How People Outside their Line of Work, IE, Olivelas’ Boyfriend, Waled Never Undersand what it felt like for say.

Hearing Meachum Call Their Chemistry “magic that you can’t fake“Was quite Surpring for a Closed-off, Gruff Character Like Him. Sadly, he did not sustain that for long, crumbling under the pressure of her playing it off as a joke, which he aggrees with and laughs off. Exciting.

MANY SUCCESSPHUL SERIES, SUCH AS Brooklyn nine-ninehave done a good jab with Slow-Burn romances, taching multiple seasons before a couple gets together. With the age of streaming and the fear of Shows Being Canceled, part of me wanoff from meachum and olivelas’ arc in the final, but the show’s plan.

Countdown SEASON 1 ENDS with a shocking cliffhanger

By Keeping Meachum and Olivelas apart, we get Countdown‘S Bigger Cliffhanger Yet. Prime Video’s Action Series Has Made A Name for ItSelf Throughout Season 1 for Its Ability to Kill Characters Left and Right, with Shocking Cliffhangers Common to the Show. Howver, The Season Final Gives Its Villain a Major Victory that COULD END WITH OLILLS ‘DEATH.

The explanation for set being a few steps ahead of the task force is that he is an fbi agent. After the team uncover the first thread of that reveal, they are able to put all the pieces of the puzzle together, and i enjoyed the way Countdown was able to create another Intelligent, Dangerous, and Somewhat Complex Villain.

After Volchek’s Death, I was afraid it was for shock Value, with the decision to start a new case with only three episodes lef potentially hurting the narrative flow. While unusual, the full device workhed, as the new villain has ben Compelling so far. Episode 13 HAD with conflicted when it came to set.

On the one hand, it was amusgas to see that his plan included setting up his former partner, who was having an affair with his ex-white, to take the fall for his crimitors. On the other hand, set is extramely Dangerous, and he now has Olivelas right where he wand.

The teased MURDER OF HIS EX-WIFE’S DOG HAD BEEN QUITE A VIOLENT ADDITION TO THE SHOW. Nor such, the fact that set does the sun to olivelas, taching her to a remote location and ascing her to run while he aims his sniper at her, makes me frightened for her safety. One of the Show’s Main Characters Might Be Dead.

This work as an effective cliffhanger. Howver, Given Streaming Shows Have Been Canceled Well They Are Hits Like CountdownI can’t help but be disappointed that there is a chance we will never see whereher oliveras lives or dies. Hop Countdown Season 2 happens to resolve this cliffhanger, or it will be a tragic ending to a promising show.
