Becky gives Livia her new phone number before she leaves. She looks out at the ocean as the episode comes to an end.

 

Chloe Finale Review

The first two episodes were nothing more than Becky snooping, which could have easily been summed up one episode. I felt they were more concerned about getting a second season, which I’m not opposed to than delivering a blowout finale. When you watch a finale and there are still unanswered questions, there is a lot to be desired.

I was disappointed with Jack Farthing’s limited air time. He has a lot to bring to the table, which makes me question why his lines were so few. I was truly inspired by Billy Howle and Erin Doherty’s dynamic acting.

Supporting actors, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Akshay Khanna, and Alexander Eliot were also fabulous. All the actors worked together to deliver outstanding performances from start to finish.

The finale deserves an 8. Get more Chloe recaps here. Support our work by clicking ReelMockery.
