Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
FINISHED The Great Pretender Part 2
So the second part of The Great Pretender aired this week and I was able to binge it all but to my surprise it was only 8 episodes long rather than another 15 like I expected and I'm left wondering why the show even bothered to split itself into two cours if that was the case. Honestly as a whole I do think this show did a commendable job with the story it was telling and how it managed to combine every case that we had previously seen along with Edamura's father and Laurent's backstory in such a creative way. I was honestly shocked when Oz appeared cause for some reason I thought he was either dead like the mom or still in jail but I loved how it ended up revealing to us that Laurent and Oz were teammates back in the day and that was why Laurent took Edamura in. Every member of his team was handpicked in order to exact this big revenge that Laurent chose in order to payback the mafia for killing the woman he loved even though we the audience found out later that she is still alive though seems to have lost her memory. It does make me wonder if it's a setup for a new season cause why else show us that scene when in fact we got a pretty great wrap up to this show. My only problem with this whole thing was the same problem I had during the last part and that's the fact that poor Edamura is always left out of plans and though I'm never worried (I've been around the block on con artist media) I do feel bad that they constantly treat him like an idiot when he's our eyes into this world. Overall though I did like this show a bunch and despite it's flaws, I am happy with what we got and here's hoping we get more!
