a rather anti-climactic ending


Do things feel more concluded in the book?

And do Sarah and John end up together?

reply

John and Sara do not end up together. And, no the ending of the book wasn't anymore satisfying, IMHO....

reply

I liked the ending but I wonder... what exactly is the extent of the damage of Kreizler's right arm? Because when he visited his father, it wasn't hanging limply, in fact he carried his cane in the arm/hand.

Exactly my impression and the words that came to mind !

I agree. Once the red herring suspect is dispatched, the show becomes less interesting.

SPOILER




It was a disappointing ending it's true. I don't know why but instead of having the big emotional scene where the Vanderbilt baby is reunited with its mother and family they just had it sent to a hospital instead. And the psycho killer went out with a whimper rather than a bang.

Which season are you reviewing? Was that in season 2?

I posted that after season 1, never watched season 2 because I was too disappointed.


reply

Yes season two I'm talking about. The show had it's problems but it grew on me as I went along with it.
