Like with season one, the culmination to all this feels a bit like a letdown given how much of an intriguing buildup there was. We didn’t get express confirmation that Greg was involved even though it seemed quite obvious, and it turns out that shooting blindly works out only so well, since Tanya then took quite the plunge to her death after managing to take out all of her captors. It’s impressive that Quentin was able to maintain his composure and not becoming any creepier while he was ensuring that Tanya didn’t leave, whereas Jack broke completely and made himself entirely suspicious to Portia, who managed to escape this whole thing unscathed and even get Albie’s number in the process. Lucia and Mia both got happy endings to a degree, while the Di Grasso men leave without having been too negatively impacted, with Dominic out a good sum of money but now optimistic about reconciling with his ex-wife. I would not have predicted a happy ending for Ethan and Harper, but after everything, they got their passion back and seem like they’re in a good place, at least for the moment. That moment where Daphne reacted briefly to what Ethan told her and then just moved on to her happy-go-lucky state was fascinating, and I wish we had spent more time with Daphne. There wasn’t much closure for Valentina, other than that she has created good relationships with Isabella and Rocco, who will be grateful to her for reuniting them, and with Mia, who might help her find someone who can actually love her back after she netted her the plum piano playing gig. This season wasn’t as enthralling as season one but I’m still up for more next season and will continue to enjoy speaking with cast members about their experiences.
