It’s good to be back. Yellowjackets left fans with plenty of questions about the fate of the group in the wilderness — and whether the aftermath of their trauma would lead to more shocking deaths.

Your Honor wrapped up its two-season run last night (March 19), with fans sharing praise for the finale.The series, which stars Bryan Cranston, follows New Orleans judge Michael Desiato as he’s forced to make hard choices when his son kills the son of a mob kingpin in a hit-and-run.Season two has followed the aftermath of his son Adam’s death, with Michael let out of prison to help bring down the mob.The events of the finale see Michael forced to testify at the trial of Eugene Jones, though refuses to lie, instead revealing the truth over Adam killing Rocco Baker and how he himself helped to cover it up.In the end, he goes back to prison, facing justice for his actions – though appears at peace with his choice to reveal the truth.Fans have shared praise for the episode, one tweeting: “I know a lot of people wasn’t rocking with this season of #YourHonor but the series finale was good”.“Your Honor is the best show on tv since it’s release in 2020 that season 2 finale was insane,” another added.
With a show like “Yellowjackets,” where the mysteries are everything, you can’t reveal too much too soon. David Lynch and Mark Frost learned that lesson with “Twin Peaks,” a clear inspiration for Showtimes‘s hit series in terms of tone and setting, which solved its central question halfway through its second season and then quickly faltered for the remaining episodes (until, of course, the divine “The Return,” two decades later, which defied all conventions).
