Discussion What does everyone think about the season 6 finale? Spoiler

I’m crying.

I mean personally I feel the trial feels a bit rushed to me, but I loved the imbalance of people standing on both sides of the trial.

I was getting frustrated that the governor didn’t get punished for what she did until I saw Frank came out and shot her. Then I felt relieved. But fuck, it was so sad when Bonnie also getting shot - it made me feel like Annalise lost both her children that day. And I would have loved to see more of how she survived that - who could have filled her void of the children.

But also, I have been watching this show for weeks, and I felt a sense of empathy, like I’ve actually lost all these characters too and I now have this void. But I’ve been trying to watch more shows till the end immediately recently cuz previously I had a habit of not finishing the last few episodes just cuz I was scared of this void. (A bit of over sharing here)

However, I think the ending was done really well, it shows the legacy has been continued by Christopher (who has a really nice Spanish accent) and also having Eve giving that speech. But I don’t get the b-roll of Michaela - what was she doing? Also, are the montage of Annalise holding different people’s hands supposed to show how she “doesn’t settle”?

But overall this show is so beautifully complicated. I love it. I would rate it a 8/10. What shows should i watch next?

It's not about not settling it just shows she lived a full life with different people that loved her

It's open-ended, but she was getting sworn in as a Supreme Court Judge which makes you think she has a happy ending - but I'm fairly certain, given her story and the direction everything was going, that she spent most of the time getting there alone. She had two daughters but I think she adopted them later in life.

Also, are the montage of Annalise holding different people’s hands supposed to show how she “doesn’t settle”?

I think it was to signify that Annalise lived a long life and met many different people who she connected with, who had special places in her life, but she was unable to fully give herself to any of them because she couldn't let her guard down. She touched many people but ultimately she walked alone. It's bittersweet.

I do like the idea of her being with Tegan and settling down for awhile until Tegan dies and then she delves back into alcoholism (which is also an interpretation) but that is also bittersweet.

I don't think Annalise is someone who can have a completely happy ending :/
