Alright alright alright! The season's over, and no one expected Rust and Marty to survive. I liked the finale: strong conclusion, no jackassery, and some level of redemption for both leads, though Rust clearly would have rather died. The ending was way cleaner than I thought it would be, but I felt in some ways the end was an homage to the noir movies with old detectives fighting good and evil. It was a throwback to a much earlier crime drama error, but I liked it.
Still, I wonder what they'll do without Harrelson and McConaughey. Those kids crushed their respective roles. Season 2 is a long way away...
