Boss Level Ending Explained

This article contains spoilers for Boss Level. Boss Level stars Frank Grillo as Roy Pulver, a former Special Forces operative who has been waking up on the same day over and over again, only to get killed every time. He’s macheted, shot to pieces by a helicopter, killed in a fall, blown up by a rocket launcher, impaled through the chest, and dragged by a truck–you name a way to die, and Pulver has pretty much experienced it. One hundred and forty times. As the Joe Carnahan-directed film begins, Pulver has no idea why he’s been assassinated dozens of times,…

Raya and the Last Dragon Ending Explained

This Raya and the Last Dragon article contains spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here. It almost didn’t end this way. For a brief moment during the climax of Raya and the Last Dragon, it felt like we were a million miles away from any kind of peace. And when Raya (Kelly Marie Tran) marched up the steps of Fang’s parameters in search of Namaari (Gemma Chan), I doubt there was a single viewer who didn’t share her anger—and maybe her thirst for revenge. Minutes before this sequence, Raya had once again extended the olive branch to her rival…

WandaVision Finale Ending Explained

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. After eight near-perfect episodes, the story of WandaVision has concluded with a finale installment that sticks the landing on all fronts, including multiple cinematic battles, several heartfelt goodbyes, and a long-overdue moment of agency for a heroine who has so often been denied a choice in her own future.  But while “The Series Finale” is a deeply satisfying coda to what is probably Marvel’s most emotionally satisfying outing to date, it leaves us with more than a few questions about where these characters go from here. Let’s break down what happened in the WandaVision finale,…

Link Tank: What Ginny & Georgia’s Ending Means For the Netflix Series’ Future

Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia ended on a hell of a note. Here’s what the ending could mean for the show’s future. “You can almost imagine the pitch meeting for Ginny & Georgia: ‘What if we do Gilmore Girls, only with more sex and Lorelai’s a criminal mastermind?’ By the end of the 10-episode first season of the new Netflix series, that’s basically exactly what the drama has provided.” Read more at Thrillist.

Superman and Lois Premiere Ending Explained

This article contains Superman & Lois premiere spoilers. We have a spoiler free review here. Superman & Lois episode 1 was an untraditional Superman story. Its hour-plus runtime does a lot of work introducing the twins Jonathan and Jordan Kent, setting up the rationale for why the family has to move back to Smallville, and generally explaining Superman’s place in the Arrowverse these days. But throughout it all, Clark keeps having to leave his family to take on a mysterious figure in armor who has been attacking nuclear facilities.

I Care a Lot Ending Explained

This article contains I Care a Lot spoilers. It’s an emotionally fraught conclusion. Before our very eyes, I Care a Lot’s protagonist—its ostensible hero—is bleeding out inside an asphalt parking lot. But then, was she or anyone else ever a hero in this story? Just seconds before she was gunned down, Rosamund Pike’s Marla Grayson is seen, smilingly lying about how great her new predatory company is, and how she’s figured out a way to turn elder abuse into a sanitized illusion of “eldercare.” She is a monster with a sunshine smile. By contrast, the man who waits outside an…

Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes Ending Explained

Warning: contains major plot spoilers for the Behind Her Eyes finale When a novel is marketed with the hashtag: #WTFthatending, you know it’s going to pull a big move. Sarah Pinborough’s 2017 thriller Behind Her Eyes pulls a move so big that Keyser Söze himself would salute the audacity. Not only does the novel swap genres halfway through, shifting from psychological thriller to supernatural fantasy, it swaps lead characters. Literally.  Steve Lightfoot and Angela LaManna’s six-part Netflix adaptation follows suit, with a final episode that prompts viewers to revisit everything we’ve seen until that point. What first appeared to be the slippery story of…

The Sinner Season 3 Ending Explained

This article contains spoilers for The Sinner season 3. When planned miniseries decide to expand into traditional series, they often run the risk of rendering their titles moot. Such is the case with USA Network’s detective drama The Sinner. When it opted to move past its novel inspiration’s premise to tell new stories about detective Harry Ambrose, there was a real chance that the name “The Sinner” would become vestigial. The Sinner solved this problem by making sure that all its subsequent case subjects would be as focused on sin as season 1’s Cora Tannetti (Jessica Biel). In fact, the…

Judas and the Black Messiah Ending Shows Horrific Legacy of COINTELPRO

This article contains detailed Judas and the Black Messiah spoilers. Read our spoiler-free review here. We don’t even see it happen. Like Deborah Johnson (Dominique Fishback) and the other seven Black Panther Party members fortunate enough to survive an all-out assault on a Chicago apartment, we only experience the sound of it. Off-screen and out of focus, police officers glibly taunt Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya), who is still incapacitated in his bed despite all hell having just broken loose in his home.

Why Brooklyn Nine-Nine is Ending

Usually when a TV show is renewed or canceled, its network will send out a press release to celebrate or explain its decision. Oftentimes these releases are accompanied by a statement from the series’ producers. When the series is a comedy, those producers seem compelled to couch their statement in a joke, perhaps to prove to the network that their investment is paying off comedic dividends already. Today, NBC announced that Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s upcoming eighth season will be its final. Not only that, but the episodes won’t premiere during this TV season as expected but rather during the 2021-22 season…

WandaVision Episode 5 Ending Explained

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. WandaVision episode 5 threw viewers, Vision, and even Wanda herself for a loop, when her long-dead twin brother Pietro Maximoff dropped into their now-80s-set Westview pad for a touching reunion, opening up a can of Marvel Cinematic Universe worms that have now spilled just about everywhere. Pietro, as played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the MCU, originally died in a hail of bullets protecting Hawkeye and an endangered child at the climax of Avengers: Age of Ultron – Marvel’s 2015 blockbuster team-up movie where we first properly met Wanda – and Kevin Feige and director Joss…

The Expanse Season 5 Ending Explained

This article contains The Expanse spoilers. The reunion of the Rocinante crew (minus one) and Avasarala’s return to power provided some measure of resolution in The Expanse season 5 finale, but even with season 6 being the final outing for the show, the story of the protomolecule is far from over. Showrunner Naren Shankar helped shed some light on those final moments, including the nature of Laconia and the status of several characters whose arcs are ongoing. The Rogue Martians Bring the Protomolecule to Laconia Let’s start at the end and work backwards. There was something dangerously familiar about the…

Marcella Season 3 Ending Explained: Murders, Money and the Mystery Caller

Warning: contains major spoilers for Marcella season 3 episodes 1-8, available to stream now on ITV Hub. From London working mum to Belfast gangster’s moll to international multi-millionaire in just three seasons. That’s some trajectory. Other TV detectives must look at Marcella Backland and ask, where’s my new alias and private plane?  It’s not coming, Sarge, because unlike Marcella, your show insists on complying with the merest demands of naturalism and coherence. You plod on drearily in an approximation of the real world while Marcella does screaming naked cartwheels through story, Etch-a-Sketch erasing bits of plot, and leaping gazelle-like from one improbable thing to the…

The Little Things Ending Explained

This article contains The Little Things spoilers. You can find our spoiler-free review here. It’s the piece of the puzzle Rami Malek’s Jim Baxter has been waiting for. The young—and now entirely ruined—LAPD police detective can stop wondering about the night before—the night his shovel cracked the skull of Albert Sparma (Jared Leto). At the time of the murder, there was no clear cut evidence Sparma was the serial killer that law enforcement was hunting—or that Sparma even committed a crime beyond being a full-on creep. But when Joe “Deke” Deacon (Denzel Washington) mails the younger man a red barrette,…
