"Someone in the APD knew we should've been looking into these guys all along."

Admittedly a tiny bit underwhelming as an episode that I have to accept as the last of the show, but ignoring what it could have been, it's something pretty special. After a lot of episodes that felt like a detective show, it worked really well to bring things back to its roots as a show that works both as a piece of art and a detailed look into real crime. 

While likely not intentional, toend how it did was honestly bold. Bill's wife left him, meaning he didn't get justice, nor save his marriage, Holden will live with the weight that his profile may have been wrong, just as every parent of the 29 children will have to live with the weight of nobody facing justice for it, regardless of if Wayne goes to prison for the murder of the two adults. And the APD and their failure to actually ask any of the right questions led to them never once coming across the fact that one of their own held back the investigation and protected a group of child predators. 

It is wildly unsatisfying, but still provokes questions, and challenges your own thoughts and opinions in a really effective way. 

Now, let's hope that Netflix goes bust after they get caught for tax fraud and we get our third season 👍
