[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the finale tied up the season really cleanly but it felt below par (the whole season) for HBO[/quote]

Huh? How?

I had a ton of questions...
What was on the hard drive? The whole season hinged on it and never revealed?
So the movie director, who was shown for all of a mere 3 min way back in episode 3 (good thing I didn't blink, I would've missed it) is the main guy behind everything?
Why did that lady cop (never picked up on her name) give a Venezuelan reporter the evidence - not like an LA Times reporter?
Whose baby was that and where were they going?
VV dies with the diamonds in his pocket. Um ok.

So anti climactic. Didn't see much justice or get the impression it was implied. Could've ended the show fast forwarding 15 years with the red hair kid (Valcoro's) graduating the police academy impinge he was going to avenge his dad's murder and clear is name.[/quote]

Wow, I think I'M out of it paying attention during movies to various characters and plot lines- you are really bad!! And to have to be led with a flash forward a conclusion that the kid's now a cop (totally not necessary and not where his character was going) is just too easy.

Here I was feeling like a dumb moviewatcher because I wanted Frank and Ray both to live... (too easy) but it was never going to happen. I just thought the story lines were so tragic and romantic- the connections the male/female leads had at the end. I was literally on the edge of my couch with my hands cupped over my mouth for the last 45 minutes of the episode. And I did feel the first few episodes were boring and didn't have the draw of the first season- hated Vince Vaughn's 'acting'.... but then I started to care about the characters. Man, Colin Farrell seriously has depth as an actor, for a random little Irishman.

I'm still crying about the diamonds in Frank's pock.[/quote]
