What do you think? Did you watch the Blue TV series on YouTube’s WIGS channel? Do you plan to watch Blue: A Secret Life, next week on LMN? Tell us.
The show ends on a “cliffhanger” when Olsen tells Blue he found out that Josh is his son and he tells her to tell him. And that’s the end of the show. No season 4. No real ending. Just imagine their city was bombed when she walked out of the café and everyone died. 😉
