The Outlaws Finale Review

While the season had some dull moments and flat jokes, the finale made up for it. Nearly all the loose ends were tied up. Diane is finally recognized for her dedication to the community. The Dean gets what he deserves, a prison stint. Greg gets the nerve to walk away from his job and a date with Anne-Marie. John sues John Senior for workplace abuse and wrongful dismissal. Gabby heads to AA after flushing her outrageously priced cocaine. Malaki makes the decision to give up his drug operation. Myrna’s police officer disappears after she appoints Claire to her position.

Sadly, not everything turned out as I’d hoped. Christian gets his Weston food shake, but Rani wants no part of it. Margaret kicks Frank out of her house. Even though Tom is heartbroken, Frank accepts the blame instead of telling him it wasn’t his decision.

The cinematography and editing are nearly flawless. Every member of the main cast performed beautifully from start to finish.

A splendid finale deserves an 8. Get more of The Outlaws recaps here. Support Reel Mockery by clicking on the link to learn more.
