Summary
“OTP” is a pretty forgettable finale. There are no big gestures or big moments in this concluding chapter. It all feels surprisingly anti-climactic overall. And as always, the show teases new mysteries and plot points just in time for a follow-up season.
The finale of XO, Kitty focuses on the end of the semester as the students nervously await their finals results. Kitty (Anna Cathcart) reflects on her time at KISS and realizes where her heart truly lies.
“OTP,” like all Netflix finales, feels like a conclusion of sorts but sets up more drama to come.
