and for the next five hours, it never gets serious, not even for a second.

For all of two minutes, Von Trier tricks us

[{"selector":"#anim-f050240d-4bd6-47e9-9667-37da51a74ac3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bc704f33-a251-45ad-827a-21eb8f651202","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.46153%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

into thinking that maybe this third season is going to

[{"selector":"#anim-8bc920c4-95a0-44bf-a8d8-bb49e84da468","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04827dc0-d7e1-4dd0-8ad7-12c4c821e547","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.46153%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

look like a polished, peak-TV miniseries of Netflix.

[{"selector":"#anim-e78b2f2e-297c-402e-adbd-2fd899eb40f1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f8451364-c7ea-4a75-8887-2a029c21df5f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.46153%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is a half-baked hooey.That’s no ending to a finale.

'The Kingdom Exodus' is so anarchic on it's own mostly.
