People may disagree, but I felt that this finale was a tad underwhelming. Sadly, I also found certain elements a tad cliche.

Truly a mind-blowing final sequence! Not since Children of Men have I witnessed a shot so well choreographed, so well lit, that I couldn't help but smile with utter enjoyment all the way. If there are still those out there who doubt that we are still in a Golden Age of Television, I ask them to watch those last 6

The Marnie & Ray coupling has worked surprisingly well, considering it probably would have not occurred, had Christopher Abbott stuck with the show. That said: Thank you, Mr. Abbott!

Definitely a solid, intense episode of television. I was a little concerned that, even with the two A-list leads, I would eventually tire of this murder mystery, but "The Locked Room" episode (especially that terrifying final image) has energized me in for the long haul!

Everything worked for me, up to the final scene with Hannah and Adam. It feels a tad too cliche that she would have that "arc", realizing how sad she is over the death of her colleague. I am glad that it didn't just show her crying her eyes out, 'cause that would have seriously pissed me off.

The pacing is quite interesting for a series premiere. Most shows would like you to feel completely energized and pumped for what's coming the following week, but this series' approach is far more calm. It's undeniably gonna be too slow for some.
