Very dark but hugely entertaining series. Completely bought into the characters and storytelling. Broadly managed to keep a good pace through 4 seasons. You really do see how the pressure builds on the main characters and the supporting cast is superb. Somewhat uncomfortable at times, but worth sticking with.
Spoilers ahead: On balance, I would have given the series 10/10, but hugely disappointed with the ending and missed opportunities with story arcs. For such a dark series, too many loose ends were too neatly resolved: For example: How Nelson was dealt with - you know, a bigger twist could have been that he didn't kill Ben - how that would have shaken things up! Didn't like that Navarro was killed, his sister should definitely have lost out. The Byrd family ending was too neatly tied, I get they should have survived, but not without more drama. And most definitely worst (by far) was Ruth Langmore - she did NOT deserve that ending. Ruth was by far the person everyone is rooting for and didn't deserve that (a twist was needed - Three on the scene, or Sattem, as Ruths saviour)? I really wish they could have made a much more impactful ending, as feel completely let down.
