Thank you, Cary Fukunaga, for making this show eminently watchable almost up to the end, when it became clear it was a waste of time. Without you and the excellent jobs the cast did, it would not have attracted the audience it did.

I'm not totally up in arms that there's a few loose threads left but it does kind of bug that they never fully addressed some of the stuff going on with Marty's older daughter, the five dolls around the Barbie thing especially seemed to suggest a connection to the case so strongly! Oh we'll. Also final note, did anyone else get a strong Roberto Bolano vibe from the show? Aside for the facts that's he has books titled The Savage DETECTIVES and Woes of the TRUE Policeman, I also found the grittiness and mix of genres to be reminiscent of the writer.

can anyone list the pros of binge-watching, if there are any? i may disagree with them, but i'd like to read some dissenting opinions.
