'Pose' finale review: Season 2 could be the storm to the calm of Season 1 finale

The finale was predictable to some extent as Blanca scored 'Mother of the Year' trophy but no deaths make us dread Season 2 a little too much
PUBLISHED JUL 23, 2018

Warning: Spoilers ahead

All wishes come true in the season finale of 'Pose,' and there's a collective sigh of relief as situations predictably unfold. The mighty Elektra, who in the last episode had signed up to dance in the Peep World, is rescued by the benevolent Blanca and is given refuge in the House of Evangelista.

It shouldn't be a surprise that the story set in the 1980s drag ballroom culture, battling the ugly AIDS epidemic, has an essence of a fairytale, an empowering kind, without any tragic deaths, yet (because season 2 has been renewed and we don't know what to expect).

But coming to this season finale, there's an ode to be addressed for the emotional journey 'Pose' has granted to its characters and the audience who have invested in them.
