Jamestown Review

I didn’t know that this was the last season of Jamestown. Now, I am sad. This was definitely the best season and it showed how much potential the show really had. Nevertheless, the ending was fitting and satisfying. I enjoyed it greatly. It was emotional and intense. I am going to miss Jamestown. It had a few bad episodes, but the show was fun. Thankfully, the finale did wrap up most of the storylines. What can I say? I liked it. I’d give the finale an 8.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Jamestown now!
