Hey, if there’s no concrete ending, then is it really over? Wellington Paranormalcan continue on in our imaginations, through our weird fan fiction, or through our perpetual binge-watches. While some might whinge about the lack of closure or a definitive ending, the no-fanfare-style drawing of the curtain is perfect for this series. In fact, if you didn’t know these were the last episodes before watching them, well, you wouldn’t know afterward, either. Rather, the show simply ends as it does every week. There’s no riding off into the sunset or bitter goodbyes. Wellington Paranormalwas never meant to have a cookie-cutter ending. What makes this series finale the most intriguing is how it ends. It doesn’t hurt that the actors consistently deliver hilarious performances on all fronts.

There’s a real, easygoing connection between these characters, making the dialogue and one-liners all the funnier. Wellington Paranormalnever skimps on the heart, and these last episodes are no exception. O’LEARY: Sir, you’re resisting arrest by floating. Despite Minogue and O’Leary’s incessant bickering, it all comes from a place of love. The writers convey how much these characters need each other, especially our paranormal trio. “Time Cop” (or “Time Cop: Not The Jean-Claude Van Damme One”) examines why some of our main players joined law enforcement - mainly Sergeant Makka, the one who started it all. It also throws a zombie outbreak into the mix, producing a brilliant melding of genres. The episode dabbles with the butterfly effect and parallel universes and finally explores time travel. However, “Time Cop” might take the crown as one of its best narratives. The plotlines in “Who the Hell?” and “Time Cop” prove that Wellington Paranormalis a seemingly bottomless wellspring of creativity.

The crying scene in “Who the Hell?” is killer. Thomas Sainsbury is so fun to watch onscreen he’s a comedic force. Would watch again.”Īdditionally, Wellington Paranormalthrusts Constable Parker under the spotlight, giving him extra screen time in “Who the Hell?” as he not-so-subtly tries to sabotage his new partnership in favor of working on the paranormal unit. Couldn’t understand a single thing anyone was saying at any time. While O’Leary excels by herself and even triumphs over Satan in a game of “Who the Hell?”, Minogue struggles without his partner in stopping crime. It’s delightful to witness how they fare without each other. “Who the Hell?” breaks the show’s episodic structure by separating our core four: Minogue, Maaka, O’Leary, and Parker pursue separate cases wherein three of them are linked. Both outings pack in a heaping helping of action, which is surprising, given their roughly 20-minute runtimes. Wellington Paranormal Season 4 Episodes 5 and 6, “Who the Hell?” and “Time Cop,” deliver plenty of laughs, slapstick, and a smattering of the butterfly effect.
