A brilliant finale to a season that got got more criticism than it deserved.

Season 2 is far from the best season of television ever made but it is nowhere near bad. The only reason people have given this season such a bad wrap is because it's not as good as season one but that was never going to happen, season one is up there as one of the best seasons of television period and comparing this season to the quality and success of that one is Neanderthal level thinking. Watch another crime drama and then watch this season and you'll realise it is actually pretty top tier for the genre. Especially these last few episodes. This season did what a lot of shows do for shock value. It killed (almost) all of its main cast, but in this case it's actually good writing, each of the characters that met their end this season were in too deep and it was foreshadowed from the start. I think everyone this season, particularly Colin Farrell bit the other three leads also did a spectacular job and I like that show infused the dreamlike fantasy that season one had without directly ripping on it. Ultimately this season was an above average crime drama which disappointed people that wanted something better than the best. This episode gets a 9 and the season as a whole gets an 8.6
