800 Words Review

The finale of 800 Words was okay. The back and forth between George and Terry was a little annoying honestly. George pushed and pushed and pushed, until he finally got what he wanted. It was clear from early on that Ike would be the one missing. That will give the writers a chance to push Ike and Shay back together in the next season. Oh boy. It feels like we’re going in circles. It also seems that Woody might be hiding something. Was he previously married?

Sadly, the finale really concluded nothing. There are now more questions than ever. It scores a 6 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of 800 Words now!
