Wendy's boyfriend is evil after all. In the season finale of The Middleman, “The Palindrome Reversal Palindrome”, Wendy is sent to an alternate universe where people are the opposite of who they are in her world and there Trevor is good. I can say that I’m not surprised. This result makes for better storytelling if the series is renewed. I like that in the evil universe The Middleman takes Lacey as his sidekick. Since pairings have stayed pretty much the same, does that mean that Wendy’s Middleman and Lacey will end up together? I hope so.

Having different lighting to show each different universe is not original. I saw it on the few episodes of Charlie Jade that aired on the Sci-Fi channel before the series was suddenly removed.

It was appropriate that the evil universe was shown in a darker light. The set design for the Fatboy industry was well done. However, I suspect it was computer-generated. With the fate of the show uncertain, I can’t see the producers plopping down big bucks. The actors were able to show their chops with the different roles. I thought Matt Keeslar was wonderful as the evil Middleman. I really didn’t see what a good actor he was before because I felt that Natalie Morales overshadowed him.

Will The Middleman come back? In today’s climate where shows like New Amsterdam don’t make it, I think odds are against it. Being on ABC Family should help. I hope it does return for another season. It’s been a fun ride and I want to see what happens next.
