My Extraordinary (2020) Episode 8: We're Going Home

There's no twist during Episode 8: We're Going Home regarding Shake and Ken's deaths. With extra preachy screenplay, the finale merely elaborated on what we already know about the couple's fate. Like what I've previously said, I can understand the disappointments and frustrations with this series. I myself am not a fan of the bury your gay trope especially in line with the too good for this problematic earth narrative that tackles homophobia and depicts gay characters as suffering victims who die tragic deaths from an uncaring world. I know what lesson these types of realistic stories are trying to impart -- that homophobia kills and ruins relationships -- but I was expecting something more. Luckily, acting performance and production technicals were quite strong on this episode which compensated for the weak closing storyline and screenplay. There's also a second season -- A Kiss 2 Remember -- with Z's Lawrence and Kayden's Jayvee, which hopefully has a happier tone than My Extraordinary.
