A Murder at the End of the World: Chapter 7: Retreat (2023)
Episode 7, Season 1
Horribly Executed Ending

Sure the "twist" became predictable to an attuned viewer a few episodes before the end.
Nonetheless, for such a well/produced series, the finale should have applied far more tact.
The show was well acted, with big names and sufficient character development. Yet, the final episode felt horribly rushed and melodramatic. Either a) the actors said they needed to wrap it up so they could on stone, b) the producers ran out funding, or c) this was intended to be a single 90 minute episode of Black Mirror, and the Execs mandated the middle 70 minutes be stretched into 7 hours.
I have rarely been this upset by a finale. I guess that shows how engaging the show was, only to end with such a thud.
