ABC's The River season finale aired
last night and overall it was very disappointing. I had been
sticking with this show in hopes that it would have a good ending
that would reveal all the mysteries. Unfortunately it didn't. I had
an anticlimactic ending where it seems like they were trying to leave
a cliffhanger in hopes for a 2nd season. The problem is, the first
season was not good and there shouldn't be a second season.
In the second to last episode, they
found Emit which was pretty much the goal for the season. So in this
last episode, it should have been an explanation of all the
supernatural stuff that has been happening. Instead, Lincoln is shot
and killed, then brought back to life with the bad spirits, and at
the end they find out they can't leave the river.
I know those are spoilers, but I'm not
spoiling the show for anyone, I'm saving them from wasting their time
on it. The River may be the worst show I have watched an entire
season of. The writing, acting, and editing was all sub-par to what
would be expected for a show like this on a major network.
There was a lot
of potential at the beginning with the story and location, but all of
this was dissolved as the season went along and nothing was redeemed
at the end.
Did you watch The River? What did you
think of the ending and the series as a whole?
