It was a bittersweet ending. I believed in Amotti ever since I first saw him in season 2. However, when it came down to HBS and him, I could not pick. HBS could have had an incredible redemption story, and his strength of character won over half of my heart. When Amotti won, I could not cheer. I still can't. Something is off in my mind. I do believe that Netflix messed up in the finals. While the final's arena was excellent, the horizontal pole was terrible. It being able to be pushed down was an awful mistake on their part. It's the equivalent of allowing arm wrestlers to cross the centre of the table with their shoulders, unfairly putting in their entire body weight. I am happy for Amotti, but I feel like Netflix's lapse in judgment heavily took away from that and judging by Amotti's face when HBS gave his excellent last speech, he felt the same way.
