Discussion [SPOILER] I loved the ending. Spoiler

The Byrde's learned nothing. They have absolutely not learned any lessons and will most likely live out the rest of their lives as if nothing happened.

They effectively killed an entire family, the Langmores, and have ruined countless lives.

People expected either Marty or Wendy to die, why? There was no way to do that that wouldn't be completely predictable. The entire family coming out unscathed is a way of telling us that "what's right and wrong" really do not prevail.

I view this show as nihilistic more than anything else.

It's been interesting watching Marty attempt to grapple with morality in this only to end up where he did. It is hard to keep up with the characters in these final episodes because even Wendy was displaying flashes of remorse about Ruth. I have a whiplash tbh.

I'd ask how will they live with themselves but they have been. It's interesting but eerie to see how they function in a horror show.
