Finally made it through! The end felt a little abrupt for me. I feel like this last episode, and the whole story in general is really leaning towards at least one more season. There was so many possible connections to make and so little time and leeway to explore them that I really wonder if they are planning on releasing more episodes. Or just torturing us, who knows! I do hope there will be more episodes in the future, because I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that Etan guy!
