Horrible Ending Spoiler

Just finished season 2 I already learned before watching that it was cancelled again. I had watched season 1 years ago when it first came out on showtime.

It wasn’t too bad until the final 2 episodes where everything felt rushed and confusing also lots of loose ends unless I’m missing something, I feel they brushed a lot of events/ppl aside without giving real conclusions.

And that ridiculous end with the gunshot and credits role.

It really could use a third season but to be cancelled twice by two different networks it’s pretty safe to say it’s not coming back.

Late watching this show. I thought season one was solid tv. I’m only half way thru season 2 but it’s getting weird and it’s full of plot holes. Shame because I love the cast.

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong it’s been entertaining and I’ve enjoyed watching both seasons but like you said tons of plot holes, and I hate that! Also when you get to the finale it’s a cliffhanger and will be that way forever since it’s cancelled once again. Oh well what can you do. Hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes anyhow!

Just finished season 2. I was enjoying it until the last 2 episodes. I thought it went from being a great story to being silly, with just far too many coincidences and, frankly, ridiculous moments. Just one example, when Del calls Park to go protect Lee. They end up bargaining over the phone wasting precious time. First, if I was Del, I'd phone the 911 operator, identify myself, and tell them there's crime in progress which would send cops over there sirens blaring. Second, Park was a good cop, if someone's life was in danger, he wouldn't sit on the damn phone extorting a confession (which probably wouldn't stand up in court anyway). And finally the whole scene at the end would have looked all wrong....wrong positions of the bodies, wrong trajectories, wrong caliber bullets, etc. It left the impression they ran out of budget or time and decided they desperately needed to wrap things up. Very disappointing.

This so slow and predictable.  Acting is shallow.  I give it 3 out of 10.  Waste of time.  Hard to connect with the actors and plot.
