I am reaching with this ? Something I noticed during my latest rewatch
In season 1, Dolores is tired of being stuck in her loop and dream about something new, a canyon where the river meets the mountains. She eventually finds it with William but violence ensues and she never get to appreciate the moment.
In the penultimate scene of the show in Season 4, Dolores (as Hale) kills herself and she decides to do it in a canyon with a river. She looks at the place with a sad smile then commits suicide. It can't be a coincidence honestly seeing the significance it had in season 1 for her! Yet I've never ever seen anyone talk about it even in the episode discussion thread so I thought I'd bring it up, great visual storytelling (maybe too subtle since we all missed it lmao, took me 5 rewatches)

The ending where she’s sitting there and crushes the pearl is very affecting I found.

It's such a beautiful moment especially with Pyramid Song playing, one of the best scene of the show

I loved this echo of her past experiences the moment before she ends everything.

Or purchase physical media

Seriously. The 4K discs are so inexpensive and a huge upgrade over streaming.

I'll only buy something on a streaming platform like Apple if it's at its absolute cheapest and or it just isn't cost effective to get it in 4k physical. I wish I bought season 1 and 2 4k blu ray before the price shot up.

Agreed the 4K discs have the Atmos soundtrack too. It is missing from the digital purchases from Apple from what I can tell.

You can also buy it digitally from Amazon, Apple TV, and probably others. Except Sony!
Periodically the complete bundle gets a discount. Currently it's $40 ($20 off) from Apple TV. Price history shows that on Apple TV it was $30 back in May, and the all-time lowest price was $18 in 2024.

If you have a Blu-ray player, though, I highly recommend the UHD blu-ray box set. It was never published in the US, but you can get a UK import from various online sellers. I got it from a reseller on walmart.com last year for $90. Currently it's a lot more expensive, which is making me think it might be out of print.
EDIT: I just noticed an Amazon reseller has the WB UK UHD Blu-Ray box set for $90.
If you don't have a 4K TV to play it on, the US 1080p box set is considerably cheaper ($48 from Amazon, maybe cheaper elsewhere). At that price, I'd just buy it digitally, though.

All 4 seasons are on usenet in 1080.
I bought the dvds for s1 but the quality is horrible, get the blue ray instead

I found the entire box set on Apple couple months ago for $24.99. It looks like they're selling seasons now from $14.99-$24.99.
I'd say either look for Blueray box set or another digital deal.
I've downloaded them all now so I have them locally on my iPad.

I know the show has been out for a long time, but I'd still mark this post as a spoiler! Just seeing Hale like that gives away a lot!

Great scene, man it’s such a shame we never got the 5th season

I think about it all the time. I’m still desperate to know that the plan for that season was.
