[2 Arriving on Netflix at 11.28 AM, this star's mystery on the edge of your seat is a timely (and perhaps too timely) must-see show that balances an important message about family importance with keeping your sanity in the face of a mad world. For those looking for a recap, here is our breakdown of a crazy hopeful ending.

A brief recap of a crazy twisted conspiracy: A few hours after he meets a random white man staying in the cabin of Poconos next to him, Muncie happens to the dismantled body of a man and is chased by a murderer. It turns out that the dead man was Mark Simon, aka neo-Nazi blogger Brother14. When Muncie comes into contact with cops and the fbi, it becomes clear that he is framed for murder. He may only have been involved by chance, but he is the perfect fall man: he is a vocally black expert, and when he was a child, his father went to prison for killing the landlord accused of the Red Line.He knew that his father had killed his father, his father knew that he had killed his father.

With the help of Simon's estranged wife Lucy (Tamsin Topolsky) and FBI agent Franco Quignones (John Ortiz), Muncie discovers that Simon is a "hedge fund manager" named Stu Magnason (Bradley Whitford, with a pretty casting). I know that I was working with "people I hate". Magnuson had paid Brother14 to influence his five million readers in favor of three Senate candidates, on behalf of the activation of the technology conglomerate. A month before his death, brother 14 objected to the candidate, so Quyñones believed Magnuson was calling shots at revitalizing, and the billionaire ordered Simon to hit.

Quiñones' theory came out of the window when Julia Jayne (Alison Wright), one of Revive's fixers, killed Magnusson and revealed that Stu was just Patsy.1 The real man in charge is Rodney Kraintz (Neal Huff), a clean energy billionaire and owner of Revitalize's silent majority. The company owns one of the only promising cobalt mines in the United States, and Congress is considering a climate bill that would deregulate the mining of private companies.1 Kraintz hired Jayne to eliminate someone in a deregulatory way, so Revitalize's priority lawmakers can push through the bill. When Muncie goes public about all this, he calls on authorities to "look into a billionaire who uses disinformation and murder to profit in the name of sustainability."

Episode 8 of Madness shows Julia Jayne breaking into Isaiah's (Stephen McKinley Henderson) lair and torturing his family to get information. Start with a harrowing scene to get to. She can shoot Isaiah (.(), before Muncie's wife Elena (Marsha Stephanie Blake) creeps up on her, Elena takes 2 bullets (.As she attacks Julia. The Fixer is killed, but Elena remains injured in the hospital with gravel, and her son Demetrius (Thaddeus J. Mixon) begins to distance himself from his father.

While Elena is recovering in the hospital, Muncie and Kwesi (Deon Cole) discover that cops search Julia's car and see her as the main suspect in every murder ever (body Count: Mark Simon, Laura Jennings, Donald Sloss Jr., Stuart Magnusson, and more). "I'm not going to let you down," said Raul Diaz, Magnusson's bodyguard.Muncie is now free and clear off, but he knows that Julia was working for a higher authority, and he tells the police that she was working for Rodney Kraintz.

It will soon become clear that the FBI is not looking into Kraintz at all, but it is parallel to the inaction that caused Quiñones to take his own life. CNN wants to ask him for all the reporting, and Kwesi encourages his friend to go with it and pin everything on Julia. Kraintz sends a lawyer offering Muncie five million dollars to sign the Nda. But Muncie admits that if Kraintz is not put behind bars or is not dead, he will be looking at his shoulder for the rest of his life. In addition, after all that he has experienced, he, Lucy, and the partner of Quyñones agree that someone needs to pay.

Live on CNN, Muncie named Kraintz as the ringleader behind all the deaths and put the last needle through the web in a note from the journal of Quiñones. He ends the broadcast with a personal turn toward accountability, he says "When people like Kraintz corrupt our ability to take care of each other", so that people are "accountable to those around them, not reproaches and sucker punches.""Throughout the series, Muncie has let people down, from Elena and Demetrius to estranged daughter Curry (Gabriel Graham), to the North Philly community all he has now announced that he has removed himself from the "circus,"" the Columbia Journalism review writer once said. He has moved away from "madness" and, most importantly, focuses on his family.

Later that night, Muncie is seeking approval for his public statements from his son, one of the most important people to him. Demetrius is still angry that his mom is injured, and a little speech on TV doesn't really change things, so that's it, however, the 10-year-old also goes straight to the jugular vein, saying that it doesn't look like Muncie is fighting for Elena. In the wisdom of the young man, Demetrius says that Elena asked for separation because Muncie would only do good for him, and he prioritized them

The next day, the frustrated Muncie plotted that he had not talked to Julia for a year, and that Muncie's audio recordings were forged. Demetrius is peeking out of the other room, so he sees how the way to get his father's justice didn't work. When Lucy gives him a note with the address of Krenz's private office/server farm (which is on Staten Island, of course), Demetrius takes his father's gun and goes there to shoot the billionaire. Fortunately, Muncie and Currie get there before Demetrius makes a big mistake, but it's not just the 10s who want revenge.

In a dramatic standoff, Muncie puts Krenz at gunpoint. The villain uses circular logic to claim that everything he did, all the people he killed and manipulated, worked for greater good. He calls Muncie a sell-out whose life is "funded by the entity."Who destroys our planet every day," says Muncie, unable to rescue himself from a corrupt system of money and influence. Unfortunately, Kraintz is likely to have "more than 100 of him out there", but the problem boils down to Muncie's soul. Does he need revenge? Is revenge possible?" Instead of killing Krenz, Muncie decides to leave.

Still, Kraintz does not end the series alive. Early in the finale, Muncie relayed Kraintz's name to Lucie and passed it to her ex-husband's white supremacist group, The Forge. While Muncie was taking on Kraintz, Lucie decided to do what she could to help, handing over evidence of forgery to the FBI. Remember that one of the Forge members, who braided Lucy's hair in that slightly heartbreaking scene, escaped the ensuing FBI raid, found Krenz and shot him in an incomprehensible alley. As Agent Khalil (Ennis Esmer) says, madness is back for Kraintz. The show still reveals that his death did not end anything. A committee of former white men is still running, and senators amplified by disinformation campaigns are set to win re-election. The machine will work.

In the last moments of madness, we see that both Muncie and Lucie have found their own means of escape. Lucy is seen driving along the road with a U-Haul, hopefully moving with her children somewhere with fewer white supremacists. On the other hand, Muncie teaches history at a local high school, something that maybe looks like his alma mater. He, Demetrius and Cali are enjoying a barbecue in the same park where Muncie was coming with his mom when he was a child, and the relationship between both the writer and his children seems to be mended.

It's not a completely happy ending. Muncie is drawn from that moment by the sound of the car starting, and he sees it driving with the same paranoia he saw throughout the series. Even if Kraintz dies, the trauma of the whole wild experience will probably keep him in a state of super vigilance for the rest of his life. But still, he can pull back to Earth. Curry told him, "You can't live a life of worry, you can't live a life of worry, you can't live a life of worry, you can't live a life of worry, you can't live a life of worry, you can't live a life of worry."

And in the absolute best way this horror show could have ended, Elena walks in. Returning to the hospital, Elena asks Muncie to take care of Demetrius while he is healing, and if she gets better, gives her and the boy some space and is now completely healed, Elena walks up to the cookery and when Muncie sees the love of his life, everything else melts away. The pair does not say a word, but it seems that the estranged spouse can find a way back to each other over time. As madness rages, we can all stay positive by tuning in when we need it, investing in the community, and turning to love.
