1.19 Punk Is Dead
The concluding episodes of a show can be tricky, I’ve concluded. Generally, they can either go all-out to set up the finale, or they can cruise up to the final show like it’s nothing special.
Punk Is Dead did neither of these things, instead choosing to tell a typical Forever mystery and then tack some dark foreboding on the end, quite cleverly.
As Forever goes, it actually demonstrated well how the show has developed in terms of characters and writing, because everyone here is very relaxed about what they’re doing and the story flowed along very naturally.
I did, however, take some convincing about some narrative points, especially in regard to the Punk era.
