The series builds up the story and characters pretty good. As tensions rise it's hard to know on which side you stand.
Acting by Jeff Daniels is superb.
And Tom Pelphery manages to make you see his POV and hate him at the same time.
I was just about to say what a great series it was, when the last episode ruined the whole series for me.
Not only was it 100% Deusex Machina but the last 10 minutes was a crude amateur-like attempt to surprise the watcher with an end twist.
It almost felt as if the last episode and specially the last 10 minutes of the series were written by a different person or team, one without experience.
Unlike excellent twists such as in The Usual Suspects or in Fight Club, this "twist" was so unlikely and ridiculous it not only fails to surprise but mocks the development.
I was so unimpressed and angered by the ending that the last 10 minutes de series went from a solid 9 to a 5. From a "you guys have to watch this!" to a "don't even bother".
Such a pity that the great acting and initial story was ruined by the last episode.
