Not today, death.

As Kirby reels from a nasty shock that knocks the wind clean out of her sails, the knotted ball of string that is Harper’s timeline begins to unravel.

We see a desperate man escalating in violence as change comes thick and fast for Kirby and Jin-Sook.

If the main story arc has been Kirby’s strange journey of recovery and her losing her mind while all about her are keeping theirs, then we have moments where it’s possible to see how far she’s come: the Iris/Howard moment being a key one and it’s beautifully done.

Then she finds the house.

Not all the answers are provided in this final episode, but I’m OK with that – this is a drama that respects the intelligence of its audience and it’s possible to extrapolate from context and fill in the gaps. Well, most of them.

Kirby plays Harper at his own game and wins – simply because she is stronger, she is better. Now that’s what I call closure, with an added castle, built right on top of the moral high-ground.

Verdict: A highly original assault-survival tale with a clever, competent and brave woman at its heart. 9/10
