Reply to comment by DonutHoles5 in Any love for the tv show The Pretender? by DonutHoles5

They did, by going back to the beginning. Kind of a time loop. Which I found a bit frustrating.

I think you’re in the wrong thread.

I think you have some other show in mind.

We’re talking about the tv show “The Pretender”.

I don't remember well if they decided to forget everything they discovered about their past during the four seasons but they sure did resume the hunt for Jarod that was part of the premise of the series.

So it felt like a sort of giant reset button, to be more accurate.

The show didn’t reset.

It just never fully ended and wrapped up. After the 2 movies we still didn’t have a lot of things answered even.

Quoting Wikipedia:

> During one of Jarod and Ms. Parker's infrequent phone conversations, Ms. Parker expresses sympathy for Jarod and his mission, but sadly warns that she will continue to try and capture him.

Which is more or less what I remember.

They were always after Jarod since day 1.

I’ve seen the whole show so I know a lot about it.

Sadly, the wikis don’t have much information on little details of the show and stuff.

Maybe, in the 2001 movie how they got back to Jarod escape and other pretenders when they previously established that the Jarod was the best of them all and that the children were phased out and Jarod was basically alone and isolated from the world with the exception to Sydney. And then suddenly there were others that Jarod socialized and worked with. That was weird.

And it is not like they didn't hit the reset button on every season premiere despite all the revelations only to put the players on the same positions all over again.

Also, no ending is also an ending. The only one we got. Nothing was resolved. All the characters stayed in their eternal limbo of doing the same thing over and over again. That can be like a time loop.

Jarod will eternally escape the Centre, Miss P will chase him (never leaving the place she hates), Sydney and Broots the same. There was not even a hint of a hope that these people can escape these destructive cycles and be remotely happy or away from that misery. Ant that can be ok, just look at how bleak was the OG Nikita.

I dont agree with you because I saw what happened in the 2nd movie.

Believe me, I probably remember more about the show and the lore than you.

Like, you’re forgetting some important things.

The creators said they had an ending. They know how the show is supposed to end. But they haven’t told us what it was or done anything with it yet.

Some important things happened in the 2nd movie as well.
