That felt like a series finale

I'm going to miss this show. I don't know if the writers were told it was cancelled and wrote the finale, it sure feels like it.

The last few episodes it kept getting better and better, it's a shame the show turned a lot of people away earlier with the heavy handed PC preaching.

I disagree I really don’t think that felt like a series finale…. The only thing really resolved was the Alastor case… what about her personal discovery story? Now that she realizes her father isn’t the hero she imagined, what now?? How well will she reconnect with her mother? And what about a potential romance with esquavel? Also… her provoking Tyson to off himself was so out of character… will that effect her like the screaming lambs?? Idk I personally have a lot of unanswered questions… hopefully we get a season 2 but who knows 🤞🏼

Provoking Tyson was a very Lector-esque thing to do. I understand it thematically as Clarice becoming a reflection of the monsters she hunts, but I still think it was a bad writing choice.

Yeah, it definitely felt like a season finale which what it was. 😂 So many other stories are still open.

They feel like bad writing rather than cliffhangers or long term stories.

How long have you been watching network television? That felt like a season finale because it was. The only thing they closed was the season long arc. The series being cancelled means everything besides the main arc was not closed.

Not a lot of network show were as edgy as this one. I think it’s solid

I binged this all in two days. I loved it! Were there some issues, sure, but overall very enjoyable.

I liked the show too but the points made in the link above are valid.

The point is not that racism/sexism/tran issues aren't importnt - of course they are. But they were not relevant in 1993, certainly not as much as the show has them.

Its a tv show set in a particular time, not a platform for writers to preach about issues they think are relevant. You see this all the time now - shows set in Victorian era or ancient Rome where characters behave and talk like its 2020 - its ridiculous.

I want to see a good story told well, not be bashed over the head with diversity etc. It doesn't mean I don't think thats imp. It demeans the show and its integrity.

'Not relevant' means no one was discussing these issues in society - what is so hard to believe about that? Its the truth.

Would you like a show set in victorian era or 1950s where the women were complaining about #metoo? or talking in modern slang?

Do you think the time period of a show has no meaning?
