lots of unanswered questions. There will be a season 2.
The envelopes were sent but people still weren't willing to implicate Tuttle. As PP said, none of the men in the video took off their masks. So, there was still something of a cover-up going on, but as Marty says, you can't get everybody, but they got their guy.
I thought the show was brilliant, terrifying, and impeccably acted. I loved the last scene and Rust's breakdown and glimmer of optimism.

The season 2 will be entirely different, so will not answer any of the questions.

Speculation that the show was somewhat based on a real case

My understanding is that the killer had one non working phone, but Marty realized that everyone must have a phone (he states that everyone has a phone) and threatens the killer's half sister/lover into telling him where the working phone is.
This. He put the gun to her head and made her give up the phone.

The writing is so different and so unpredictable. Not sure if it will be back for another mini-series by MM already divulged that he would not be returning. Not sure who could fill his shoes. his acting was superb - SUPERB!!
question though; Cohle and Hart couldn't get a cell signal and the serial killer didn't have a phone so how did the cops know to swoop in especially because both detectives had gone "off the grid" so to speak. What did I miss?
that dungeon was so creepy and scary. I spent half the time with my eyes closed.
It will be back for a second season but with a different storyline, characters, etc. They are using a mini-series format where they wrap up the story line with the eight episodes.

Oh! yes you're right! what stuck in my mind was the non-working landline phone not thinking that the sister told him where the working one was.
On a different subject, Cohle's story of his near-death experience was riveting. I was sad for him because you KNOW he wanted to let go but something pulled him back into that ugly world he lives in. That show does no favors for the state of LA. Just like Low Winter Sun does no favors for Detroit. shows the nasty underbelly of both places.

Such a good show. Great finale. This is how tv should be done.
