Season one is over but it close leaving me thinking there might not be a second season, a few things that I thought would happen played as I thought for example Jo Madi ended working with John, Crowley controlling people based on pure dirt on them using their data against them that’s how he got Valence kill himself, this episode its all about giving in and getting Homm to the public with the entire story, one thing I curious is why the information that Jo Madi gave his boss didn’t reach Crowley or at least they doesn’t mention it but what surprise me is how John played out everyone with his “ex wife” since the start specially Jo Madi who always though she was ahead of John she did find out about his team that they were dead when he had no clue and only his father knew because he saw the intern kill them but the hole investigating John ex wife without him knowing ended up exactly as he wanted besides using his father as bait to get Crowley but I think that was a best guess one of those low risk high reward bets. The end of the episode felt a bit rush with Olivia putting down all Crowley body guards in less than five minutes after getting out of handcuffs that throw me off, I was expecting a longer story line, negotiation between John and Crowley but it never happen, after Olivia kills all Crowley body guards basically the episode was over, I knew the intern didn’t wanted to work with Crowley, he mention it once to his girlfriend but as the rest Crowley had some dirt on him, Crowley through the series was never respected as other criminal bosses but it was purely on data, he calls anyone he had all his data and after a few minutes of telling them so much about their life he got them.
Season one ends and Rabbit Hole kept over 75% on the TomatoMeter which is very good considering other series like The Mandalorian had a 90% and The Last of Us 96%, Rabbit Hole ended up been a good series although not a AAA series, to put it in perspective its not compared to any of the two I mention in terms of script, production and cast, don’t get me wrong, Rabbit Hole season one was very good but not at that level, I hope there is a second season.
The Tomatometer score represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show. A Tomatometer score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews.
The episodes starts with reporter Debra declaring how the American Protection Act by Nora Evers has become law that would allow intelligence contractors direct access to citizens online data this immediately gives Crowley access to manipulate who ever he wants and sure he did, as in any other conspiracy of take overs you dont have to win an election you just need to get rid of those in power and had the right candidate, Crowley had three federal judges killed shutting down the D.C Circtuit Court, never had to beat this judges in court or politics, just got rid of them.
Since Crowley is not this powerful public figure, he is only a man who pics up the phone and practice hardcore blackmail, John has decided to go public and let the people take care of the rest, now that they have the entire story figure out with the briefcase they got for Senator Evers and Homm still alive, he decided to go to the news and send an invite to reporter Debra to get an interview live with Homm, when he declares everything he knows about Crowley, Senator Evers and everyone Crowley had on this payroll everything would fall down, at least that’s the plan.
Hailey and Joh, after all it seems she is not working for anyone, she did find John on a dating happen and happen to spend a night with one of the manipulative man on earth, there are two ways I can see a second season happen, one is that Crowley is not the boss man just a puppet and second one is John getting more contracts as he was doing but now with Hailey at his side, she is becoming better at the job but I don’t see this feasible, I thought giving the data to Jo Madi was stupid but turns out John was ok with it, he also had Jo Madi under control so I think that’s why it didn’t bother him that much.
John has to meet with the reporter to agree the terms of the interview, Hailey and Homm get to the tv station and Ben is send out to protect John’s ex wife but its not all black and white thats exactly how the following scenes happened, Hailey and Homm were going to make time before they pick up John at the FBI and Ben was never send to protect John’s ex wife he was send as bait to get to Crowley protected by a fkn ninja who also happen to be a Houdini and Jhon Wick at the same time.
John getting caught by the FBI was never planed but a possibility, Jo Madi was not willing to work with him at first but he send Homm pictures to convince her to help him, a possibility that he had a plan for in case it happen that how Jo Madi agree to work with him before they catch him? Im still not sure because he never mention he was going to meet the reporter so how the FBI got him? I guess he did tell Jo Madi about it.
This is suppose to be the final boss, Crowley, this time is him because Ben recognize him, Olivia is actually an agent John had to hired to recue his ex wife after she got kidnap during one of John’s mission for a client, she was involve and he got Olivia to rescue her so for the entire season pretend she was his ex wife after he knew at some point Crowley or others like the FBI would go after his ex wife, Ben and Olivia were kidnap by Crowley’s people and brought to him while John, Homm and Hailey are at the TV station, Crowley tries to stop them but the moment he tries to manipulate John with killing his dad and ex wife John unleash the beast and had Olivia kill every Crowley’s guard so after that it was game over, Ben kills Crowley after some chit chat about the past and his plans, but Ben finds a microphone on Crowleys ear, does that mean he is not the real boss?? this is another reason why there might be a second season.
If this is the end for this series I felt it was rush, how Olivia kills everyone and makes things that easy, also there were a lot of details kept away from scenes what I mean by this is the things that John had planned that never were said for example Olivia, how did he know Ben and Olivia would get kidnap? Jo Madi use the information Hailey gave her to get a promotion why did she decide to work with John, so one day she is on the Devil side and the other on Gods side? the possibilities of a second season for me are minimal now that they kill Crowley, similar to what happen with The Night Agent, they solved the entire story at the end leaving no continuation, anyways a good series after all but was not expecting to end up like this. Over all I give it a 7/10 still very entertaining and the first chapters were very good. I’m planning on doing a season review for an overall of what to expect for someone who has not read any of my episode recap.
