I am left gutted ( something which Fortitude has always excelled at ) . Here I am , settling in to the 4th episode of Fortitude 3 , thinking after the first few great episodes I am travelling along another great character development and intriguing plot line . I very quickly find out this is the final episode ever wtf ?? ( I have invested hours of my life in this programme ) and watching now feeling I must have missed 2 previous episodes as nothing seems to make sense, there are big plot gaps eg how did Dennis Quaid get sucked into Elsa's web after being a sacrifice only an episode ago ?
It felt to me a lot like the disappointment I felt with final GOT ( why rushed , where is the resolution and understanding of why we invested in these characters over so many years , these fantastic actors and your loyal following of viewers surely deserve more ????? , only to be dished up like a Weight watchers ready freeze meal ) .
Having said that , hats off to Dennis Quaid , who after his high point in the Meg Ryan years , has come back proving that maturity and age can only make you get better and hotter 😊
Richard Dormer is up there with Mel and Jack re crazy / mad eyes , he is a legend .
I remember watching my final episode of Mad Men and being a " tad " disappointed that it didn't necessarily complete the story enough and uphold the excellent standard we viewers expected and being a bit 🤓
After final GOT and final Fortitude there is new term to be developed beyond Fonzie " jumping the shark " to describe this recent phenomenon of destroying a carefully plotted , paced and excellent series by wrapping it up in a final 2 episodes of epic fail, rush and confusion .
Anyone got any ideas ? " falling into the black hole " ? " the writer has dementia soz, let's wrap it up " or " Jon Snow you know nothing , so PO "
Ideas anyone ?
I hope not to see the same thing happen to future excellent quality series we viewers invest our time and love into ...
