the very end of the your reaction pretty much tells the entire reaction story for this show. finally being able to exhale and breathe easy as soon as you hear that music start thats at the end of each episode, because at least you know there isnt any more painful, aggravating, horrific, or intensely sad things still coming... but just try and enjoy the wins as they come though (bunny, carver, jimmy, ect), if its possible. cuz there are some positive things happening.
It's very brutal but Chris's scene in the end is a great example of when extreme violence can be used to tell a story. Chris sees killing as pure business, even killing innocent civilians with a smile on his face and no remorse. Here he loses his composure entirely, and without a word being said you know exactly what's up. Snoop having all the materials to make this guy disappear and the shock on her face also shows how this was not the plan at all. It's weird how a scene in which someone got brutally murdered, you can feel empathy towards the murderer instead of the victim, especially when the murderer has done the things that Chris has done.
Took the words right out of my mouth (keyboard?). The show trust its viewers to put two and two together without outright saying things, but showing them through actions, looks, and silences
In one 3 minute scene, the show completely recontextualized Chris for us. When I first saw it, my reaction was also silent shock. I've never felt a piece of fiction so effectively make me feel the pain and rage of the characters.
