The Creation of a Thousand Forests2022-12-02
The season finale attempts to synthesize the dual-timeline threads and plants the Season 2 arc that was never produced. The IMDb audience score of 8.0 - 6 points above the critic Tomatometer - suggests the season-end resonated more strongly with general viewers than with press.
