The actor says the blowback over the Netflix's show's shocking ending is actually a good thing: 'I'm very proud of how this whole thing played out.'
In the final season of Netflix’s quirky superhero drama, fans saw the relationship between Castañeda’s Diego Hargreeves and Ritu Arya’s Lila fade into a morose, passionless marriage that eventually led to romance between Lila and Diego’s brother, Number Five, played by Aidan Gallagher. Many online commenters called the plot point unnecessary and complained that its development felt rushed in comparison to the years-long buildup of Diego and Lila.
The actor adds that it’s good practice to stay curious. “Why does that make you angry?” he says. “What about these characters made you feel comfort, and also, what are they showing about ourselves?”, when in the last moments of the finale, the dearly beloved main cast of adopted siblings sacrificed themselves in a scheme to save the universe once and for all. The lethal ending was also a permanent one, leaving very few possibilities for spinoffs or surprise comebacks and upsetting many viewers.
“Castañeda says he was surprised when he first learned about the goodbye. “When the pages, I was kind of hoping they were dummy sides,” he says. But when he realized they weren’t, Castañeda said the scene ended up feeling just right. “I’m very proud of how this whole thing played out,” he says. “I’m really happy with the work that we all did during season four.”
The actor says he cried after the group was done filming. “I am happy how it ended, and I’m happy because the experience of shooting the whole season and the whole series,” he says. “It was the funnest season to shoot. … There was a lot of effort and a lot of love and a lot of creative output that came through.”‘Shogun’ Creators on the Challenges They Faced in the Six Years of Making the Drama: “It Was Chaos For a Long Time”.
