The Franchise Season-Finale Recap: The Pitch


Daniel’s efforts might have saved Tecto and the Maximum-verse, but it’s unclear whether it was enough to save himself.

My relationship with the show, as you will have probably detected across the last seven write-ups, has varied between enjoyment, mild amusement, and ambivalence; while there are parts that I have loved (Daniel Brühl, Richard E. Grant’s acidic line-reads, the space-age score provided by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jeff Cardoni) there are others that have been a slog, and it isn’t a series I expected to miss. Peter’s explosive rant at Eric’s overbearing direction feels as though it has been bottled up since the very beginning, compounded by his insecurity of being a once-respected tredder of the boards who is now shouldered with the indignity of wearing a cape and helmet, having to act for a tennis ball would be anyone’s final straw. Later, when Pat assembles the Tecto team for what they expect to be a genocide, he reveals that the film has actually been pulled forward into the Centurios 2 spot, which is now on hold with its main actor, the guy who plays Many Man, “accused of multiple acts of perversion” per a Rolling Stone investigation.
