It's over, but it's not done. Last night saw the season finale of HBO's Bored to Death, but the comedy noir has already been renewed for a second season, so fans will only have to wait a couple months for Jason Schwartzman to reprise his role as author turned armature detective Jonathan Ames.Last night's season finale centered around the much anticipated boxing matches between rivaling magazine tycoons George Christopher (Ted Danson) and Richard Antrem (Oliver Platt), with Jonathan and Ray (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/477f3b6bc5/between-two-ferns-with-zach-galifianakis-from-between-two-ferns-comedy-deathray-and-zach-galifianakis) filling the two undercard fights against their comical counterparts. We also fallow Jonathan as he puts off writing to woo Stella (Jenny Slate), and track down a would be blackmailer.
If you've been watching the show thus far, this finale does a great job of staying the course. Usually this would be a bad thing, but Bored to Death is consistently such a great show; it's hard to bring that little extra to a finale. Schwartzman, Galifianakis, and Danson all did a wonderful job in last night's finale, and the cinematography, again, beautifully makes New York City look less like the world's most trash covered island. But I would have to say "The Case of the Stolen Skateboard" and "The Case of the Stolen Sperm" were better episode.
With that said, Last night's episdoe was still very enjoyable, and I can't wait for the second season.
Rating: 8/10
