A fitting finale to a good series

And so ,it is finally over !! Harper's island comes to an end with 4 survivors being able get off the island safely.. The murderer and his accomplice were revealed and it didn't come as much of a surprise although the motive was quite disturbing ;the acting was quite good from the lead characters and it was an overall good episode.

Emotions ran high and as the story hurtled to a gripping climax,it seemed to vary in pace;subtle and soft in places while it was raw and strong in others.Certain portions could have been done without ,especially certain scenes in the penultimate episode, which I thought could have been handled better.

The acting of the lead actors deserve a special mention, in my opinion ,especially in the final episode where the entire diabolical scheme is brought into perspective.

From the way things were going in the previous episodes it seemed a good way to finish off things.The second half of the series could have been slightly better.But,overall it was a fitting finale to a good series !!

Holes

Warning: Spoilers
While I enjoyed the show and practically binged-watched over a weekend I was painfully aware of plot holes:

1. Lucy, the blonde with dog, chases after her dog and falls into a pit. She's burned alive. No one, NOT ONE person asked about Lucy and her whereabouts. No one missed her and no one found the hole or her. Yes, a few episodes later it is mentioned that Lucy that had to leave. Sorry, she didn't have to leave. She just disappeared from the rest of the group.

2. In the final episode Abby visits a tied-up Jimmy to say goodbye. She kisses him and passes a nail to him. How did he get the nail from his lips down to his hands in order to free himself?

3. Madison's mother should have been killed as the worst mother on the planet. Who let's her daughter out of her sight to walk in and talk with Wakefield in jail? Just stupid!

Other than these holes I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

P.S. MAJOR SPOILER: I knew the groom was involved from the third episode.
