The Buccaneers' Game-Changing Season Finale Is So Bad It Makes Fans Pity Theo
That’s not the plot twist we love or deserve.
Summary:
- The Buccaneers is an Apple TV Plus romantic period drama based on the novel of the same name by Edith Wharton.
- The main love story of the season revolved around the love triangle of Nan, Theo, and his best friend Guy.
- In the finale, Nan makes the controversial decision to marry Theo after spending the night with Guy.
There's nothing like a good love triangle story. The concept is as old as the world itself, but it works every time and gets people talking about the story. Fans tend to divide into teams and support whoever they like the most, but in the end, only the author can decide who wins.
The only thing about love triangles is that they have to be done tastefully, as there is a very fine line between indecisiveness and manipulation. Unfortunately for the viewers, the Buccaneers seem to have lost this balance in the first season finale, making the main character Nan completely unlikable.
Now even those who wanted to see season 2 are stuck, not knowing what could possibly improve the situation.
Who Did Nan Choose In The Buccaneers Final Episode?
If, until now, many viewers perceived what was happening on their screens as a battle between Theo and Guy, with Theo losing miserably, that should change after the season finale. It is time to hold Nan accountable for her decision and her lies.
It is understandable that she had to make the decision to marry Theo in the end, since this marriage is supposed to help her save her mother. However, this decision made out of duty rather than love, was completely unfair to the groom himself.
Whether you like him or not, it was very clear that he was looking for a love match, not someone who would take advantage of his status. Nan turned out to be the exact opposite, topping it off with cheating right before the wedding day. It's likely that the scene was meant to be scandalous, but viewers found it messy and out of place.
Will There Be The Buccaneers Season 2?
At this time, there is no information on Apple TV Plus renewing The Buccaneers for a second season. While there's definitely an opportunity to explore more, viewers aren't sure they want to.
The main question on the minds of the vast majority of viewers right now is how to continue watching the show with zero to no characters to enjoy. The only person to root for among the female characters is Lizzie, and she's left with no substantial plot at all. The men on the show are even worse.
If you missed the season 1 finale of The Buccaneers, you can catch it on Apple TV Plus. Keep an eye out for more news and behind-the-scenes updates so you don't miss the renewal announcement!
