To the tone-deaf and insensitive Jerin fans:
At the end of the day Erin and James are just characters but the troubles were a real actual event,
The Good Friday agreement actually happen. The clips we saw in the show of the blood, gore, fires, reporters, showing clips of the troubles. (correct me if I’m wrong but all the news footage shown was real footage taken from old new reports)
I don’t care if Erin and James are your kins or comfort characters complaining about how they didnt “become end game” (they are the writer confirmed it) in the final seconds of the show doesn’t matter and comes off as highly tone deaf and disrespectful to the real atrocities that happened in NI due to the troubles.
What matters is the story we were told, that so many British people, people from USA, canada, all over the world finally learned about the troubles. What happened, what they were.
I am a going to echo again; we saw clips of the troubles; blood, injuries, fires. The tragedy. The atrocities. The sadness and horror the troubles brought to NI. 
We watched the show talk of peace we watched the characters worry and fight over the Good Friday Agreement (like people realistically did when it happened!)
To be focusing on your ship is down right disrespectful to an actual historical event.
That effected real life people who are alive today to tell their stories, their experiences of what it was like to grow up in the troubles.
So have some emotionally maturity.
This show was never about ships, or romance, it was about NI during the the troubles.
It sent a loud and clear message. An important message.
