Billy & Billie (TV Series) Incesticide (2016) User Reviews

Seems to have been a rushed "wrap it up" job

[eMTeePeeCestMe · 4/10 · 22 April 2016]

• Given that it ends with the revelation that both Billy and Billie have died, I guess this counts as the series finale. That term (finale) is deliberately absent from the episode and its plot outline so as not to dull the story impact, I again guess.

• The episode is told in the form of interviews with the people present in the lives of the two, given in static single camera close up talks. Without the benefits of the time or budget found in a full second season, the results have a feel like ripping out the final acts of a play and adding as epilogue: So, Romeo's dead and so's Juliette, and we're all super bummed.

• As received, this gives just enough to offer an academic "Oh, that happened" resolution and not a visceral level of closure needed for romance or drama.

Very strange twist

I agree with all that has been said in the previous reviews. This episode does feel like a rushed attempt to wrap up an ending and it just ends up confusing and dissapointing to the viewer. Nothing is done in the usual style of this show and the slight comical aspects we've seen previously seem grossly excaggerated here, something that doesn't fit the subject of this episode at all. Most of the character are given monolouges that make them sound very stupid. I guess it's supposed to be funny but it just doesn't work. The rest of the show carries with it quite a bit of realism. "Incesticide" lacks any realism and so the story ends with an episode that misses exactly what made this show so great: a fine balance of realism and comedy.

I appreciate the attempt to wrap things up, I really do. It does suck when you love a show and never get an ending. I am not sure if I'm satisfied though, it might have been better to just leave it be since the budget (or other obstacles) didn't allow for more than this.

Worst follow-up ever

I just waisted a huge portion of my life on this crap episode. I am literally fuming. Do not watch! I repeat; do not watch. Ps! I loved the first season, so sad it ended.

There's No Reason To Watch This

If you watched the series and enjoyed it - as you should have - then leave it at that. This slapped together and poorly executed resolution to the series actually sullies the memory of what was a truly great and original show. I'm not sure why it was even produced. Especially because there are 2 very prominent characters absent from it. You will like the series a lot more if you skip this and pretend it doesn't even exist.
