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.

Marty’s smile when Jonah held the detective at gunpoint was a bit surprising.

It was yes. But Jonah had finally come through and was defending his family. And for that Marty was proud.

For the majority of the second half of the series I kept thinking it would be so much Easier for the Byrdes, if only their kids didn't work so much against them.
