    Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – I don’t think that’s the season finale. It just premiered last week with two episodes. Weird to already have a season finale.

    It supposed to have 10 episodes so that may be wrong.

  7. Jenny says:

    Not sure why I had that marked as a finale! LOL Sorry! Fixed now.
