Y'all got me wanting to watch this now.

It is so good and with only 8 episodes a season at 30 minutes you can get through it really quickly.

I will add it to my binge list. Thank you!

I watched the finale today and honestly I was kind of expecting it by now...with how convoluted the web was getting there was no way Barry could keep running for much longer and considering how he treated Gene he totally deserved being set-up by him.

But he's probably not gonna be in jail for long.

[odetothefool]

[genuine question] what makes you think he wont be in jail for long?

[laceandskin]

Just because I think him being in jail puts a limit on what they can do with the story, unless they find a way to create a super interesting plot taking place while he's incarcerated.

Do they actually have concrete proof of him killing people? Like, Fuches and others are claiming he killed Chris and Janice, but that's just hearsay, and he didn't actually kill Janice's dad...I'm not sure. But the cops certainly know a lot less than the viewers do.

god i know im in the minority, apparently, but... this entire season has felt so off. like the directing is there but the writing's not. i just finished the finale and i just didn't find it to be that good? idk why. this entire season has felt like it's talking about so many things but at the same time absolutely nothing.

and i understand we're not really rooting for any main characters anymore but it's hard to stay interested when you don't care about any of the main characters. like not even in a negative way.

i hope the fourth season goes with us following him to trial and seeing how he handles prison and everything like that rolls out. i hope his accomplices also get prosecuted.

[scriptedending]

Yeah, I have to say I agree. This season was simultaneously all over the place and spinning its wheels, and while the acting is great, I feel like the writing is letting it down. There are some great comedy bits, I liked this last episode, and I'll watch the next (presumably last?) season, but I hope it gets tightened up again.

I went into the finale like 'yeah...' and i was like 'ohhh', but then i was like 'uhhh', and now i'm like 'yeah, uh huh uh huh'
