Starts next Sunday on Showtime and stars Natalie Dormer. I'm excited for this one. LOVE Natalie. (yes still bitter about her GOT ending)

I think Craft was always a good guy.
Magda-Elsa "influenced" him to get him to commit his wife and help her bury her "husband" that she killed, but Maria also has an influence over him, which is why Magda-Elsa wants her fired. Craft, it seems, is not a Nazi, but Magda-Elsa wants to push him in that direction.

I agree. She's using demon mojo to make him obsessed.

I found the killing of Brian to be, well, a bit out of character for Detective Lewis, and a bit short sighted. A more believable set-up, would have been if the Nazi was about to capture Brian and Lewis then shot him.
I think the mobster should have done it. It's much more in his wheel house than Detective Lewis. I can see Lewis doing it if he felt there were no alternatives, maybe if the mob dude wasn't with them or if the nazis were getting him back as you say, but this was a straight up execution and far outside what I found to be in character for him.

I was sad about Molly but more sad for Tiago than just sad about her character dying. Then I was angry we weren't even given a proper viewing of him being told or reacting to it. Some montage with music in the background? After all that with the two of them this season? Felt cheated. Especially by the end when he's laughing and smiling with his family as if he has already forgotten her.

Those two things aside, I did like the season and the finale overall. It's a bit confusing but in a way that just makes me want to watch again and hope the things I don't fully understand are either made more clear on another view or have been confusing on purpose by the showrunners. Kind of sucked that Fly Rico got murdered but not surprising when he refused Rio's call to war. Why is Matteo so eager to be evil?? Is she putting a spell on him like Elsa has to Peter or is he just a bitter kid that likes the power?? It was odd that he once again says with what seemed to be finality "goodbye brother" and then both are happy and smiling together in the graveyard at the end. This family is weird for sure.

Weird family for sure. Most of us latinos are LOL! But Matteo, IMO, simply has anger issues. Something he had even displayed before he met Pachuco Magda. I have to do a rewatch as I do not remember the ending. But agree Lewis should not have been the one. Shoulda been Benny Berman. Who IMO was not used enough. Brad Garrett was great in this.

Absolutely none. From our future viewpoint we see them as greater threats because we live under them, but neither rockets nor the atomic bomb made a significant difference to the outcome of WWII, except for saving a lot of Japanese and American lives by avoiding an invasion and a Soviet postwar partition of Japan.

Now if Brian were a code breaker or microwave physicist Lewis might have had some justification.
