This finale is strongest when it focuses on Prime Jason and Daniela reconnecting with one another — these small, peaceable moments, these conversations on the seashore, they’re all crucial and exquisite in a manner as a result of these characters earned it. And these reconnection scenes make the ending stronger, for my part.
