Just finished the season. Has nothing on season three which I found to be more enthralling, but this was still quite good, with an excellent finale that set up Part 2 perfectly (happy I can say Robin Wright is coming for her first directing nomination and her 9th overall). I do agree with someone that I saw said that it might’ve had too much going on with too many storylines (such as with Wyatt who is as annoying as ever) but the finale truly sets out for a killer finale that will hopefully be Part 2.
Solis and Linney were such a great pair this season, I absolutely loved their interactions which built on the previous season. Solis was quite good as well, and bringing Herrera into the fold as his nephew was great as well. Herrera’s Javi was quite the exciting villain, he’s hella reckless, but even scarier he’s stupid with power. He should make for an entertaining villain in the next part as well. I love Laura and she was great here as usual, but she was just better in season three, with better material. I highly doubt she’s winning for Part 1 (if she does at all). Still, she sold it all. Now Julia though WHEW 💀 her performance has aged for me over the years but damn did that finale just reign me back in for her. She is a huge fucking lock for that Emmy.
Bateman, well this was probably his weakest season I have to say. His character is kinda just this never-ending backdrop at this point that’s just there to tidy up loose ends. Hublitz outsells even (though I’ve always liked her and thought she did anyways 💀) , who might I add, Charlotte’s character has come to a great full circle to emulate Wendy. Jessica Frances Dukes was also great, as she was last season, though there was a scene in the beginning where McKinley Belchor III and I was about to fume hard at him returning because he’s such a terrible actor on this show, but thankfully that passed.
