STORY OVERVIEW:
The Priests are down to their last resort and the fate of the Island and possibly the world rest on their shoulders. As all hope seems to be lost and they are overrun, Father Pyre resorts to a shotgun to solve the issue. Even though murder is a sin, Pyre frames it as mercy and a necessary evil. Slowly the other Priests fall into line and realize that drastic times call for drastic measures. However, the demons aren’t down and out yet, and the ringleader has no plans of being defeated. Will God intervene and help out the Priests or will evil rule the day?
WRITING:

It’s safe to say that this series stuck the landing on the finale.
