Spoilers below for anyone who hasn’t yet watched the disjointed magnificence that is The Chair Company’s Season 1 finale on HBO or via HBO Max subscription.
As The Chair Company left viewers hanging with a freeze-frame of Ron’s concerned face below the angered howls of a questionably vengeful boyfriend, my immediate reaction was to performatively blurt out “Ha! Ha!” as if my syllables amounted to a sincere slow clap. The entire episode brilliantly gifted audiences with answers for the season-long mysteries plaguing Tim Robinson’s Ron Trosper, but only in ways that made previous questions (as well as some previous predictions) feel entirely irrelevant. All I can say is, thank gawd HBO already renewed it for Season 2.
