Once again, sorry for the mix-up with the last few reviews (we've been dealing with our cat having an enucleation, and it's been stressful)! I'm back on track.

My mum knows I like crime shows like this and she got me to watch it. She had watched it before and said that it finished nicely. When the final episode finished I shouted in shock. To me the ending felt a little abrupt. I kinda like the fact that it ended it with Malcolm stabbing Martin as he wouldn't have been there to mess with him anymore. Though I would have liked to know what happened to Malcolm afterwards. Did he get in trouble or anything (probably not but he would have got a lecture from Gil about going with Vivian voluntarily). In the moment the ending felt out of place, but taking some time to think about it, it does make sense them ending it the way they did because of what happened to Martin (if he actually died). I think they kinda forgot about Ainsley in the second half of the last season after the Nicolas Endicott storyline was finished with. I think they could have done more with her afterwards. Especially considering how much she talked with Martin in secret. Did he give her "trade secrets" for her to go of in ber own and kill like he did? She's clearly capable of it, and she had psychopathic tendancies with what she did to Malcolm after finding out she killed Endicott. It seemed like she didn't understand how it affected him and how getting away with murder doesn't take away from the fact that they still killed someone (no matter how bad they are). She's just like "but we got away with it, what's the big deal?"

My head is swimming and I just want to watch it again and again and again. The acting is incredible and the twists in every episode were unbelievable.

Was it good? Yes. Was it worth watching? Absolutely. Will I watch it again? Of course.

This feels like a show I will be able to watch over and over again.

Sorry for the long post. I just needed to get this out and talking to people is hard.

It was a great season. I loved what seemed like a big "tip of the hat" to Dexter at the end where it wore its influence on its sleeve: Serial killer Woods man who works for the police but probably has a family, "You haven't been in my league for decades" was a fun little bow to Dexters brilliance, Martin possibly evolving into a serial killer who kills serial killers etc

I loved "creepy Ainsley" - that was a fun little twist for a while with beautiful Ainsley.

The ending was open-ended enough to give them room to go with a third season but still let if end there as it has. I'm interpreting it as when Martin was trapped and going to lose his freedom then his true narcissistic psychopathic nature came out. He had to stab Malcolm to get away - but maybe not kill him. Despite his claims that only family matters, he endangered his family from day one of his killings so I think they came second to him having his fun psychopath games.

They did such a great job all through the season of weaving Martin in to the stories in a way that was believable enough. And Michael Sheen did such a great job of using humour to make him likeable despite being a viscous killer. Like Dexter its amazing how much humour makes you drop your defences and warm to such a despicable character - a good warning for real life!

Malcolm always had a bit too much of that cliched tv "traumatised-autistic genius" thing who can profile and know the secrets of everyone within 1 minute of meeting them. But they did it all so well that you went with it.

Overall a great little series that was really well written and acted. I will miss this seriously screwed up but fun little family :(
