Review; Enlightened Season Finale - A Pivotal Awakening

In the season one finale of Enlightened, aptly titled "Burn It Down," Amy Jellicoe (played by Laura Dern) finds herself witnessing a transformation not only within herself but in the people around her.

“You’ve changed, you really have”🔄

Levi (Luke Wilson) starts the episode with a powerful statement to Amy - “You’ve changed, you’ve changed, you really have”. This dialogue happens at a profound moment, with a strung-out Levi breaking down in the early hours of the morning. It's evident that Levi’s own struggle with addiction has led him to this moment, realizing he needs help and inspired by Amy’s transformation post-rehab. The series so far has captured Amy's journey in a raw and almost dreamlike manner, and this episode pushes the character arcs even further.

One step forward, two steps back 🔙🚶‍♂️

While Levi accepts rehab as a step in the right direction, Amy’s response leaves something to be desired. She expresses her happiness at his decision, which falls flat and feels self-absorbed. In a deeply emotional state, Levi retorts with, “Well, I’m glad you’re happy. Because I want to die.”

An Inspirational Journey Marred by Reality 🛣️🌟

The morning after, Amy’s serene walk, reminiscent of the series premiere, is infused with hope. Her yellow dress symbolizes her newfound brightness. Her inner monologue suggests that if Levi can change, then perhaps larger-scale change is possible. This is the kind of optimism that draws viewers in.

However, as inspiring as this seems, Amy continues to face battles, especially in her workplace, Abaddonn. We're reminded that Amy’s ambitions don’t always translate to the best decisions. She’s big-hearted but perhaps not strategically sound in her choices.

Breaking Boundaries 🌌🔓

One of the pivotal scenes is when Amy, defying the odds and her superior Dougie, manages to secure a meeting with the executives to present her findings on Abaddonn's unethical practices. The scene is tense, as we are almost conditioned to expect a blunder from Amy. Surprisingly, Amy speaks up, albeit being kicked out of the meeting. It was one of those scenes where you want her to go all out.

Amy's charge into the room, expressing her frustration over the company’s unethical practices, gives the viewers a sense of satisfaction, even though it doesn't change the executives’ stance.

Where do we go from here? 🌍🤔

The episode closes on a note that leaves the door open for more content. Despite being kicked out of the meeting, Amy’s resolve seems stronger. She has information she believes can bring about change and is determined to make it happen.

This finale brings out the essence of the series - a quest for self-discovery, facing the harsh realities of life and the corporate world, and finding a spark within to change. Here’s hoping for a second season to further explore these beautifully complex characters.
