1.  “One World, One People”

The sight of Sam Wilson bursting through that window in his incredible Captain America suit was one that left a lot of viewers in awe. The completion of a character arc that The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was all about and the start of a new one at the same time, it set the tone for the finale unbelievably high in the first few moments. Thankfully, everything that came afterwards also lived up to expectations.

A thrill-ride that didn’t stop, “One World, One People” addressed all of the major overarching stories while also stopping for a moment or two to discuss the more powerful underlying ones and it brought most of them – particularly the arcs of the two leading characters – to a satisfying conclusion.

The finale of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier divided audiences a little because of a few of the creative decisions that it made but, as it functioned like the third act of an MCU movie, that allowed less room for pacing issues – of which there really none here. And as that was the show’s biggest issue throughout its run, that makes the finale its most seamless episode – not to mention its most compelling.
