King Me!: Castle Rock- The Season 1 Finale

After 9 Episodes and a good year, I'm finally done with the Show as of today.  Will the ending make it all worth while?  Let's see...
After all of the backstory in the latest Episode, we return to the present and bad driving.

There is actually a guy who tells our Hero that the birds freaking out was caused by 'Global Warming.'  Thanks for the Guest Writing, James Nguyen!
The Prisoner ends up back in custody after seeing what is sort of his own grave and goes all Emo Dante on our Hero.
They both end up in custody together- since you can't just drive away from your 2nd Murder Scene of the day without looking suspicious- and things happen again!

It's still not clear to me why bad things happen with him around.
As thing just escalate and the Town gets full of chaos.  Who will live?  Who will die?

Will this Ending be a cop-out?  To find out, watch the Show...
More of the same, in spite of flashes of improvement.  Everything wrong with the Show is still here.  Everything right with the Show is still here.  I've covered all of this, so I don't want to repeat myself too much.  The Acting is good.  The Production Values are nice.  They keep trying to throw in random deaths to spice things up.  Even that doesn't really work, since it's not quite pulled off right.  A woman is hit by a truck walking parallel to it, but we see the stopped truck with her under it face-up.  Given that you used a Special Effect for the collision, why not fix it there?  The big problem is that they don't really close up things really well.  I won't SPOIL all of it, but you can read about it if you really want to know.  If you are looking for closure, you get little.  If you're looking for good explanations, you won't get it.  It's just dour and nothing.  On the plus side, they set up a neat idea for Season 2 in the Mid-Credits Stinger.  I'd watch...psst...what's that?  Oh, they're not doing this Story for Season 2?  Motherf….!
A good idea for a Show, that just gets drawn out endlessly.  It barely worked for American Gods and it does NOT work for you.
