You Series-Finale Recap: The Once and Future Lonely Boy
Joe gets what he deserves in the end. Whether it’s a satisfying ending is a whole other discussion.
At least “ Trial of the Furies ” had a kind of poetic energy to it: Joe’s whole deal is that he operates alone and makes his romantic conquests feel alone, too; he isolates all of his female partners (and/or murders their friends) to convince them that he is their whole world. The rest of this sequence obeys my Inviolable Rules of Television Health and Medicine, which includes this stipulation regarding gunshots: No matter how wounded someone is, they will always be able to run to keep the suspense up and to speak clearly until their last breath.
