Started strong and had a…
Started strong and had a weak finish. Almost like someone said, “We need to finish this in the next episode.” The actors were fantastic at their work, but the story line at the ends was so cliché! I wish someone wrote a better ending, as this one really bombed! Another reason why I do not like watching series, because if the end is bad, I just wasted eight hours watching something that had an awful ending.
Well… Back to my studies. This was my break. No breaks until I get my Security+ certification.
