The series finale of Bang (S4C, 2017) aired on BBC Wales last night. I've enjoyed watching the show again, and the last episode was as explosive as I remember. The one thing it reminded me of was the time and thought that went into the use of character narrative through costume on each individual, which by 8, meant when a lot of characters had shifted dramatically from episode 1, and were about to cross paths with each other for the first time.
Below is an analysis of episode 8 that I wrote to accompany the Bafta nomination I received in 2018. It's a detailed look at Sam, Gina, and others in the main cast who appear in the last episode and goes without saying it's got spoilers aplenty.
Bang is available on iPlayer for the next 30 days, and you can find the DVD on Amazon.
