I was really hyped about the series leading up and loved it during it but though the finale was a bit garbage.

the finale was very satisfying and perfectly reflected the themes that have been present throughout the series

The whole season built up to some sort of eyes wide shut secret society being busted but it instead just climaxed with a hick in the woods with his half sister.

my opinion: good, great, maybe superb. wish it was more sprawled out into like 2 seasons or something. mixed feelings on final scene with the implied finding god/not sure if he wants to die or live "i have feelings" moments. can understand people feeling like it was all wrapped up too quick. the build up was sure great. i still enjoyed the final episode and even shed tears. i used to hate matthew mcconnca whatever but thoroughly enjoyed both him and woody through the whole thing. the paint/green ears thing seemed totally out of left field and didnt really get how they would come to conclusions but i dont know about old folklore or the south or how they made that connection. i'll internet it and find out but yeah. TRUE AWESOME.

I think "finding god" is too strong of an interpretation and creator nick pizzolato even kind of says as much in post-mortem interviews...notice the final episode was called "form and void" (sounds like a SunnO))) title right) and the deeper darkness Rust talks about at the end i think is more related to "the void" (see "tehom") rather than the white light of heaven or whatever...and his final comment about light vs. dark to me is more about the existence of anything at all in the face of absolute nothingness (pretty crazy to think about). I think it's less finding God and him coming to terms with the fact that he's always been a bit of a pretender as a nihilist/antinatalist (grief over his lost family etc.)
the killer's plot line also says a lot about the assimilation of narrative and pop culture into consciousness and action. well all tell ourselves stories and live by them. |

this EW review actually kind of nails everything (surprisingly for EW): http://popwatch.ew.com/2014/03/10/tr...-happy-ending/ and here's a good excerpt about the killer you're reducing to a "hick" Quote:

cool, yeah I saw that today too. he can say all he wants though but he also said he wanted to wrap up the story and answer all questions/have an ending and all on top of that leave enough room for everyone to interpret the deep meanings and easter eggs and all this other metaphysical stuff up to the viewer. which I think he succeeded at. I'm not meaning to sound harsh at ya at all. that's just how I took it. I've read nothing about it. I know a lot has been written. about it and the rabbit hole is there to climb down.
good show. |

and I'm convinced rust wants to die and die hard as fuck so he can feel that stoner shit with his dead kid and dad. that's why I like the rust character. dude is cynical and witty and "deep" and takes himself seriously. its like anyone else who does. at some point you are humbled by what you don't know. put in your place with no answers just mystery and wonder and Carl Sagan shit.
if everyone is bailing for season two it doesn't sound so promising but I will watch either way if I'm still alive. |

there were 2 or 3 times in the whole series I had to rewind to understand Rust's mumbles, but that video is as inane as most everything else on E!
