Do yourself a favor and watch the Ed Harris movie "Knightriders". In my heart of hearts, it's the source material for the entire show. And the ending is incredibly relevant.
One of the most disappointing endings for me, I enjoyed the show a ton but really hate how it wrapped up. After everything with Tara it feels like a downhill sprint to the finish. Plus poor Piney & Opie 🥺
There was a lot of the restore the show I didn't care for either. So much of the conflict in it was just people blowing dumb shit out of proportion when they could have resolved it with a phone call.
