I really had no interest in this show up until this year when I was bored and decided to watch the first episode on Netflix. I've now blasted through all 4 seasons and have caught up on the 5th...just in time for next week's finale.

I'm amazed at the attention to detail they have for all things 60's and how they tie in a lot of historic events and how they impact the characters' lives.

Spoiler for Spoilers:

I'm amazed at the attention to detail they have for all things 60's and how they tie in a lot of historic events and how they impact the characters' lives. Spoiler for Spoilers: The show started to drag around the end of the 4th season and most of the 5th season for me so I was unsure of how they would spice it up again. After last Sunday's episode...damn did they spice it up. I haven't had something from a TV show stick with me the way that episode did. I can't believe Lane killed himself. They even faked me out a bit...his first attempt in his Jaguar failed so I thought he might have had second thoughts or taken it as a sign that he shouldn't do it. The way they revealed that he did was pretty intense if you ask me. I wasn't sure they would show his body...but when they did that image has kind of stuck with me all week. I just kept wondering what it would be like to be pushed so far that you felt there was no way out other than suicide. I can't wait to see the finale now. I'm also a little upset that Jared Harris won't be on the show anymore. He added some Englishness that the show needed. __________________ Confusion will be my epitaph...
