701621, I still really enjoyed the season on the whole, including the finale.

It lacked the finesse that Fukunaga brought to the table from a directorial standpoint, which was the biggest problem for me. The writing was relatively consistent with the writing in Season 1-- but the imagery was on another level last season. (People like to shit on the writing this season as if it's different, but it's mostly just that McConaughey and Harrelson are just goddamn affable from a personality standpoint, and Farrell and McAdams and Vaughn are... not.)
A real fucking crusher of an ending emotionally-- it couldn't have ended any other way, I imagine, but still, Jesus Christ. The recorder getting crushed. The message not sending. The tag with Mayor Tony Chessani. Brutal brutal stuff.
I'll be ready for Season 3. As I'm sure will most of the naysayers.
