Spoilers for 'War of the Worlds' Season 1 Episode 8

The absolutely thrilling ride that has been 'War of the Worlds' Season 1 has reached its end with an epic finale that raises more questions than it answers. The gripping EPIX show ended with a strange revelation that we're still trying to wrap our heads around but it does seem to have really resonated with the fans.

A number of fans have taken to Twitter to talk about the show after the finale. While in the past there were quite a few who criticized the show, it seems opinion on it is starting to turn. One fan wrote on Twitter, "Ok, EPIX War of the Worlds just got really good :)"

Another fan commented, "Check out war of the worlds on Epix, just binge-watched it."

"War of the Worlds on Epix channel is my new favorite show," another fan declared. "Need another season asap."

"War of the Worlds on EPIX. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I'm compelled to keep watching. It's a grim piece of work," yet another fan wrote. "I should add that I've seen the entire first season and still feel this way. But I will still keep watching, " they added on the same thread.

"'War Of The Worlds' on Epix has been a really good binge-watch so far," another fan said. 

Right from the very beginning, 'War of the Worlds' has presented a grim narrative that's chock-full of mystery. Even now, at the end of the first season, we still don't know why the aliens came to Earth or what their purpose is. 

To make things even more complicated, the finale revealed that one of the alien ships holds what appears to be a human on life-support with the same tattoo that Emily Gresham (Daisy Edgar-Jones) got in the pilot episode. Seeing as this is a sci-fi show, there could be any number of explanations for this including time-travel but whatever the reasons are, we're certain Emily is at the heart of it all and we can't wait to see where the next season will take this story.

'War of the Worlds' Season 1 Episode 8 aired on EPIX on Sunday, April 5, at 9 pm ET.
