Let me explain without spoiling the corpse count.

If you’re racing through Disney+’s gritty high school thriller Revenge of Others wondering whether all the blood, betrayal, and hallway beatdowns lead to a warm, fuzzy finale — stop right there. This isn’t Riverdale with a bow on top. It’s Cruel Intentions meets The Count of Monte Cristo , but everyone’s wearing school uniforms and carrying trauma instead of textbooks.

So here’s my honest review: Revenge of Others ends , leaning toward hopeful melancholy . If you need your thrillers tied with a happy bow, look elsewhere. But if you want a show that respects its own gritty world and gives you a finale that hurts and heals — one that answers “does revenge pay?” with a bloody, honest “sometimes” — then strap in. The last episode won’t make you cry tears of joy. But it might make you cry tears of something real .

Here’s an interesting, spoiler-light review that answers the question: Does “Revenge of Others” have a happy ending?

However — and this is key — the ending is emotionally satisfying in a dark, realistic way. It doesn’t betray its own tone. There’s no last-minute amnesia cure or surprise picnic. Instead, you get closure. The kind where survivors exhale for the first time in 12 episodes, even if they’ll never be the same.

9/10 — because not every story deserves a smile. Some deserve a slow nod and a deep breath.
