The Mosquito Coast (TV Series) Eulogy (2023) User Reviews

Eulogy

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 7 January 2023]

Well, they left the door open for a third season, even a way for the lead character to still be alive, but this felt like a series finale in every sense of the word and it probably is time to be honest. The second season never quite found its footing and sort of bounced around concepts between cartels, terrorism, the jungle and more.

This episode was solid, but it also felt like a lot of just theatrics and shock value for shock value sake. A lot of shows have handled that kind of intense action much better than The Mosquito Coast did tonight.

Overall, the series was strong though and I hope Apple TV+ continues more programming like this.

A bit annoyed with this ending

I guess the story follows the book, but the death at the end was done so quickly and trivially it just didn't feel right. He dies then a quick 10 mins wrapping it up, just not done well. I hoped maybe he'd turn up at the island somehow. Would've made the whole journey seem much more worth it. The ice bit didn't feel like a "yay" moment like it could've. I doubt a season 3 will happen but I'd like it just to rectify this episode somehow. Because you didn't see him really die you were waiting for that moment he might come back and then sheer disappointment when you realise that's it, that's the end.
