It's so weird to see people mad about the 4 Minutes finale when I feel like everything that happened was pretty much inevitable and very clearly set up the whole time. One of those "have we been watching the same show?" moments.
Anyway I thought it was a solid finale and a very good show overall. The theme of Great and Tyme being shitty people who got a chance to be less shitty through their near-death experiences was clearly emerging as of episode 3 or 4, and carried strongly in the end. The tragedy of Tonkla is a tragedy of the systems and powers trapping everyone in the story. I was rooting for him the whole time, but I never expected any different end for him - and I don't think that's the story saying anything about what he deserves, it's just a tragedy.
It was engaging, compelling, beautifully constructed, and I'm looking forward to a full rewatch.
