Season 3 may have been too slow, but it was worth shooting it at least for this episode. A worthy finale of a masterpiece series. It's a pity for Stella, she didn't manage to punish Specter for his crimes according to the law.

@Porter92: What was the big deal about this episode? I haven't seen the answers to a bunch of questions that have been accumulating this season. The series was stupidly leaked, apparently because of ratings or some other problems. This season does not add up to a single picture, a set of disparate episodes turned out.

The ending really suits the spirit of the series, especially the first two seasons. It turned out to be realistic: it seems that "evil" is over, but the victory of "good" is not too joyful.

@Kate_Vesna: in stories with murders, there can be no joyful victory for good a priori. Neither too joyful, nor weakly joyful. Let the killer at least sit down, at least die. The victims will not be resurrected anyway and the grief of the families will not decrease from this. No wonder many people working in this field often drink a lot and many get drunk.

A meaningless season and a stupid ending. It was obvious that this season they simply had nothing to really shoot about and they pulled it as best they could. It would be better to finish everything in the second season, but without this shot.
Murderers like Paul don't kill themselves. This is confirmed by psychology, psychiatry and the accumulated experience of the behavior of real maniacs and serial killers. They live for years in prisons or have died from the death penalty. And Paul's character is not suicidal. Such violent, selfish people with inflated self-esteem, inflated sense of self-worth and superiority do not even have thoughts of suicide.
Judging by who he was shown in the first two seasons, then he had to either escape and be in touch with Stella periodically, torturing her and entertaining himself, or sit down and write letters to her from prison for the same purpose. Then they had a direct connection, and then he abruptly scored on it. The season has a bad scenario. We wanted to surprise with an unexpected ending, because it does not fit into the character of Paul, but more came out "I don't believe" than "wow, class".

@vazhin: I agree with you. If we assume that the whole season before us was the Floor of the 2006 sample, when he had not yet made his final Fall, his Collapse, then that Floor could well have committed suicide. Especially after all these conversations and analyses of his childhood, after the emphasis on his mother, on his attachment to her, on how she hung herself on the door, on what happened to him in the orphanage. Everything comes from childhood.
Although the fact that he attacked Gibson can be interpreted almost with certainty that there is no amnesia.
In general, everyone chooses for himself. For me, the ending is very organic.

@bolmatino: He stood in front of the mirror and said that he was no longer the same as he was. Something tells me that the near-death state and possible amnesia changed him. What if he assessed himself from the outside and drew conclusions? Besides, I'm sure he always wanted to know how his victims felt. So I found out.

It's actually a great season with a great ending. It's just logically different from all the other seasons. It was necessary to put a point.

@antons: he didn't have amnesia. There were many hints about this. And he reacted to Stella, and he shouldn't have with amnesia. He said that he wasn't like that, and the body wasn't his. He's a psycho, or rather a sociopath. Such things could not change him, and rethinking is impossible for him. You are already idealizing it.

@bolmatino: The conclusion that there was no amnesia is at least controversial. Just because he reacted doesn't mean he remembered. Perhaps his subconscious reacted and gave such an exhaust. Yes, he did not remember a large chunk, but he did not become a different person at the same time. It's more of a hodgepodge of his late dark personality and the remnants of the best part of him. There are hints of this, too. I think here in this regard the final is open. Everyone can choose the option closer. Maybe of course there are specific explanations of the creators, I'm not familiar with.

@vazhin: well, what a mess? Even if there was amnesia, he had already killed before that period, which he allegedly does not remember. Most likely, he killed more than once, but only this time it was possible to accurately identify. This is judging from his diaries. He kept his diary with these sick thoughts even before the amnesia period, i.e. he already had his dark personality in full swing during the period that he remembered exactly and which was before the amnesia. Even if there was amnesia, he just found out that he had killed several more. But he did not learn anything radically new about himself. Therefore, there was no meeting of the two Sexes and psychological difficulties against this background, which could cause a change in his personality and lead to suicide.

@bolmatino: Again: "I've already killed more than once," "in the midst of" "I didn't learn anything new." There are no direct indications for this. The murder could be one and not premeditated, the diary as the only way of self-expression for developing inclinations. Everything is not unambiguous and that's good.

@vazhin: of course, you can believe what you want. But if the authors wanted to endow him with real amnesia and the struggle of the two Sexes, they would have shown it. Just this could enliven the season. Make it interesting. It would add color to the character. They also showed how Paul was going through the separation from his wife. But this was not done at all about amnesia. Absolutely did not show how Paul experienced this situation personally. Whether he suffered. On the contrary, there were many hints that all this was fiction. He showed it well enough when he opened up to his lawyers and beat Stella.

@antons: for me, I think. When he said in front of the mirror that he was not the same as before. I understood it as the fact that he is not perfect now, his body is not perfect, he is not handsome. I think it was important to him. But that's how it seemed to me. In general, somehow it doesn't add up a little, he loved his children very much, and then he abruptly scored on them and committed suicide, he didn't even leave a note. He did it harshly, in cold blood. Although he can do so, a dream prompted him. He also dreamed of jumping from a skyscraper. Maybe we didn't fully understand the whole message of this moment, feelings and emotions.

@retr0: as a person who has a professional attitude to psychiatry and psychology, I can say that such suicide is not peculiar to the Gender that was shown in the first two seasons. Neither for evil, nor out of a desire to escape justice, nor out of self-pity and inability to survive failure. I repeat, he would either run away, or he would sit down and get Stella out of prison with calls and promises to tell about the victims who were not identified. He would talk about them once a year, forcing Stella to come to him, tormenting her and having fun with it.

@bolmatino: why not? after all, it happens that a murderer who is not subject to suicidal tendencies passes away just like that. Precisely because he is narcissistic and arrogant, and thus expresses his protest, as if winning against the opponent.
Although I'm also more inclined to believe that Paul could easily have come up with a plan and run away, and it's unclear why he suddenly decided to stop everything. But that's the whole series. Banal and boring.

@bolmatino: It just seems to me that everything is logical. When he found out that it was Stella who was shouting "we're losing him", and all in order for him not to escape justice so easily, he experienced a real collapse, most likely at that moment he remembered everything and realized that the connection between them was only in his head. And the beating of Stella, no matter how terrible it sounds, is perhaps the only manifestation of ordinary human emotions such as impotence and despair, before that there was only a cold calculation of a sick mind.

And then he returns to his sick self, and realizes that the best punishment for Stella will be the inability to see the guilty verdict and give the victims' families at least a little sense of revenge, and he, as usual, prudently puts his plan into action.
And this has nothing to do with suicidal tendencies, this is just another murder of him, where one person acts as the executioner and victim, himself.

And in this regard, the final episode is very good, although it leaves us devastated alone with ourselves and a glass of wine in our hand.

@bolmatino: Paul lived on the edge, and could die at any moment, it didn't really bother him. Everyone's characters are different, and they are not based on typical ideas of what a certain person's behavior should be. Even apart from that, his personality, as for me, was not based entirely on egocentrism, but more on fear and a desire to fill the void. The prison/hospital would not have given him that. And his daughter's knowledge of who her father was is a rather dubious part of his acceptance of life. But in general, he had no options for that either.

@bolmatino: A normal and logical ending. In the last episodes, everything is explained. Paul had been thinking for a long time about either somehow starting to move on like everyone else after his mother's suicide and boarding school, or rip off. Nietzsche got carried away there, practiced experiments with strangulation and hurt others in order not to think about his own, chose the appropriate profession, worked on a suicide hotline, even started a family like everyone else. In general, I tried everything, almost like the bound Rose then, but nothing helped. Well, what finished him off was that the doctor thought that he was no longer being treated.

@bolmatino: I fully support Paul and his psychotype. He has never been suicidal. In general, a complete maniac did not come out of the Floor, some kind of mess. He tried to believe in philosophy, and the screenwriters gave him a difficult childhood, and he had a choice of deviations, and an internal struggle... You can keep listing it, but he's actually a pretty flat character. If someone else had played it worse, it would have looked like a pale toadstool.

Just the same, his suicide fit perfectly into his narcissism, he was in the style of "bite it, bitches, don't get pleasure from my capture!"
+ he was ashamed! That everyone eventually found out that he was actually the pet of that pedophile and he was raped for a whole year. It was precisely his inflated ego that could not withstand such a "loss of reputation", because he wanted to seem like a kind of uber man who understood the meaning of life and committed murders not out of ordinary manic-sexual deviant impulses, but out of a "higher purpose". In general, everything looks quite logical to me)

After watching the last episode, there was some kind of sediment with the feeling that I was somewhere very in Bali, sorry for my French. In fact, the entire plot of season 3 could fit into a maximum of 4 episodes. Why was it necessary to stretch everything so much? And this heart-to-heart conversation between Stella and Katie somehow looks far-fetched.That is, before that, Katie was all crazy about the Field, she didn't want to hear anything else, everyone was lying, he was only telling the truth, and then suddenly bang, and she was sitting so decorously and peacefully listening to Stella's story and, most importantly, it seemed that she understood the essence of what was said.
It seemed that Spector just hung himself to spite Stella, then what prevented him from "walking away in English" from her after a bullet wound? Somehow, it doesn't make sense to me in this place. And I agree with bolmatino's comment that Spector somehow didn't look like a suicidal man at all.
If seasons 1 and 2 can safely be given all 5, then the third, alas, pulls only 4, and then with an advance for the previous two seasons and of course for the brilliant game of Anderson and Dornon.

They washed down two whole episodes for us, showed how the doctors pulled him out of the dead, and Stella participated. So it didn't work out the first time, I had to take matters into my own hands :) Well, in general, I agree, it would be more logical to stop at 2 seasons. Against the background of the first two seasons, he was very pumped up..

@id344276410: well, in the most direct way. We were clearly shown the moment of the borderline state of Gender between life and death. Not everything has to do with how hard the doctors pulled him out. But this is another topic for conversation) So, going back to that moment, Paul at first clearly followed the voice of his mother, i.e., to death, but after hearing the voice of his daughter, whom apparently he still loved, he returned to life. Well, you could say that it was because of her that he returned. And now, in the finale, we are shown how he takes and hangs himself like his mother, thereby completely spitting on his daughter. That's why it's not logical that he, being in such a state, clung to life at the beginning of season 3, and calmly said goodbye to it at the end.
Of course, if he had left some kind of message or letter to Stella with his last word, maybe his suicide would have become more or less clear, but so, for me personally, some kind of inconsistency came out.

This series is about mental scars, that everything has its consequences, that everyone has their own past, which will not cease to influence the present. Paul Spector was left by his parents, which became a tragedy for him and after which his life went downhill. It is ironic that the poor girl, Paul's daughter, also lost a normal and happy life with her parents - her father was gone, her mother had already gone crazy. Some kind of endless chain of ruined lives. And other heroes have so much pain inside - from loss, from love, from anger. It's all sad.

The season is superfluous and about nothing. It was worth finishing with 2 seasons, everything ended logically there. Here, they really tortured the plot for 6 episodes, in which absolutely nothing happened that would actually somehow change the previously placed accents. Plus suicide in the final is a fail, it's not at all in the spirit of the Spectrum
To cut the water from the series and make 2 episodes and release it in a hurry is an ideal way to end the story

The psychiatrist will have a lesson for life. It was necessary to listen to Stella's words that the Spectrum is VERY insidious and dangerous. They would have put a straitjacket on him, or at least handcuffed him, and no excesses. But the doctor is so "smart", why should he listen?.. now I understand the meaning of the title of the series. The spectrum has made everyone: doctors , police officers, and the judicial system. If there is no defendant, the case is over. One thing calms me down is that the bastard will never knock on anyone's door again.

Yes, people like Paul don't kill themselves, they like to kill others. Mentally and physically. And as soon as he heard from Stella the reason why he had to survive, he made a decision. I think he knew how many lives would be crippled by such an outcome of the case, everything became even worse than it could have been. And he left undefeated, everything was in his hands.
If the series had ended before the shot was fired, this gloomy effect would have been lost. But the season was really badly delayed, I think that it would be possible to cut out a lot without losing meaning.

Well, from the Spector-Stella confrontation, the killer emerged the clear winner. Although, it probably corresponds to the atmosphere of the series.
He thought it all out and planned, first came up with amnesia, then realized that it would not work, because the police had found a murder earlier, from a period that he "remembers". Then he "took a walk" for the last time - stuffed everyone's muzzles, killed the patient and committed suicide. because it was this act that no one expected him to do and it mixed the cards for all the other players in the process. Although suicide does seem out of character for Spector, it became the ultimate revenge for Stella - she so wanted to convict him and put him in prison, a whole team of doctors saved him after a bullet wound... She personally told him during the interrogation that death would be too easy a punishment for him.

Season 3 seemed to be delayed, all the action fit into the last episode.
Still, I think it was possible to finish after season 2. That ending was more impressive and memorable.

I didn't like this season not only because of the ending and the very unnecessary delay, but also because of the change in the reason for Paul's actions. In the first two seasons, everything was presented in such a way that he was born evil. The daughter was shown doing strange things, hinting that she had inherited her father's deviation. He disowned pedophilia in his childhood. Now he was exposed as a victim of a pedophile with a difficult childhood and that, as it were, formed his essence as a murderer. The daughter was already shown to be completely normal without any deviations in behavior. There is a very big jamb in this. If his essence is acquired, then why did they show the strange behavior of their daughter, who clearly could not inherit it then? If it is innate, then why drag in this pedophilia, giving reasons for sympathy for him?
For me personally, the series started well, but ended poorly with a change in the plot outline and characters of the characters. Perhaps the fault is the lack of thought of the screenwriters or the increased employment of both main actors, so they could not remove something intelligible and pulled the rubber by what they managed to take out in a short period.

@bolmatino: and in what place does having a tendency contradict bullying in childhood? not everyone who was raped as a child becomes a sexual maniac. It also says that all the boys in that orphanage were harassed. Did they all become murderers? No, just Paul. He went to kill people, so there was a tendency. A difficult childhood is not an excuse or a reason for sympathy in this case.

@yonoi: That's what they brought out this season. Otherwise, why did they devote so much time to this, if not to cause a feeling of empathy? Why did they expose a pedophile as a victim if they had previously denied it, which personally pleased me, because I was sick of this cliche of childhood violence from a maniac.
By the way, not everyone was raped. This was said by the second guy from the shelter, some escaped this fate. And nowhere did they say how the fate of all the others turned out, maybe not only Paul went to kill.
And where did I write that having a tendency contradicts bullying in childhood? In the series, two versions of the reason for Paul's behavior were raised and both were merged. Plus, they added that he had seen his mother's death, which again could negatively affect him and form a tendency to his hobbies. But again, why do this if in previous seasons it was hinted that he was naturally evil and his daughter took after him? They just filled a place in the season, they had to pull it somehow, so they shot it just to take it off and it doesn't matter that there are contradictions to previous seasons.

So many questions and so few answers. So many lines that were just leaked in the ass. What about the Spectrum family? Why are all these stories about Stella with men? Why drag out this tension between Stella and Spectrum for two seasons? What is the result of amnesia? Why was there a line about this girl at all? Why the scene about the "breakup" of his lawyers? Why is everyone so deeply depressed? Literally everything? And so on and so forth...
the first two seasons were incredibly gorgeous. The third one was also nice to watch, but it didn't make any sense at all. I didn't believe everything that was happening even once. It was either necessary to finish on the second, or let the Spectrum escape and terrorize Stella.

@Ophella: In my opinion, justice has nothing to do with it. The murder of this guy is another detail of Paul's well-thought-out plan: to organize a mess; hide in a room that will be locked and not immediately searched, hang himself. And this guy could have prevented him, torn the package, made a noise, so Paul eliminated this option by killing the guest of the room.

Most of all in the season, I was struck by the carelessness with which the homicidal maniac was not led in shackles, was not strapped to the table during interrogations, did not follow the order of entry and exit, and was not kept tied up in a psychiatric hospital, in solitary and under sedatives.
I understand that this is a scenario move, but it's insanely unrealistic. The room is filled with crazy maniacs in a mental hospital for criminals, for a second, and they have sharpened pencils, cues, billiard balls... what?!

But the mood of the season and the play of the main actors are expressive and addictive like a whirlpool of an icy river.

I'm most interested in the question, why didn't they try to pump out the Spectrum? After all, he didn't hang at all, which means that at least a couple of minutes were still enough to try to save him. Especially since he was in a mental hospital, where the staff should have at least basic first aid skills?!

@lyoka_d: First of all, it was shown on the screen that the Floor hung just nothing, in reality it could hang as long as it wanted. Secondly, it makes sense to pump out a hanged person if he has just lost consciousness, which happens in the seconds after, in fact, hanging. Thirdly, it follows from this - by the furrow on the neck, and it is quite dark, it is noticeable that the Floor did not hang for a couple of seconds, but the bill has already gone by minutes. Which led to brain death. And you can't give first aid to a dead brain, alas.

The first season started so interestingly, in the second it was still great, there was a confrontation between Paul and Stella, and it would probably be great if Paul died at the end of season 2 and that's it. The end of the story.
Or that he would run away and switch places with Stella in season 3 with a game of cat and mouse, like who is hunting whom, tension, excitement, an unpredictable ending who will survive, whether they will catch, etc. ...
and here all season there is so much useless chatter, how boring it was, a feeling of understatement, why did they mix so many facts, they brought in the alcoholism of the boss, the throwing of the schoolgirl, they spent a lot of time with the doctor in the hospital, the nurse, well, the fact that Paul hanged himself in the end, of course, you can attract that he did it out of spite, like deceiving the system, I won't let you live, and so on, but I thought he would try to escape and for example if he didn't want to take revenge and play games with the police, then just drive away beautifully into the sunset))

Paul is not Dexter or Lecter, and there was no ambiguity or justification in his crimes, we were initially shown him as a cruel, calculating murderer and sadist. But with all this, from the very beginning you feel some kind of strange sympathy for him and you root for him until the very end. When you look at how he behaves, how he talks to people, how he communicates with his daughter, then somewhere on a subconscious level you just refuse to believe that he is capable of such a thing. In general, it becomes clear why he had such an influence on people. Katie, Alvarez, the nurse, even Stella fell for his tricks in some way. So the character turned out to be very effective.


By the way, what happened to the story about Monroe, his son, the murder of a policeman, the suicide of another, the case of prostitutes? What was all this for anyway? It seems that they just took and cut out the whole storyline.

Убивает только успешных красивых женщин - видимо, чтобы над кем-то возвыситься и не чувствовать себя неудачником, у которого совершенно банальная средняя жизнь. Очень мерзкий персонаж.

For me, the series has been stable for all three seasons. Perhaps because it was viewed after the release and in a short time, seasonally per day, so I didn't feel any sagging, and the feeling that Spector was about to turn around and get away with everything did not leave until the very end.
When it became clear what he was going to do, there was only one thought in his head: "brute, what are you doing, how much donor blood has been poured into you!"
In general, the series can be called "The Man who fucked up everything." Victims of crimes, of course, the immediate environment, family and children in particular, a group of investigators left without a final point in the form of a court. Even the employees of the special hospital, who are waiting for a serious trial.
Everything that Paul Spector's bloody hands could reach was corroded and destroyed by the force of his boundless malice.

Their confrontation and how Paul wants to shit on her is obvious throughout the time. This became his meaning. And he didn't show weakness by his suicide. He defeated Stella.

An amazing finale!) And I think the ending is very logical, he and Stella talked about control, about power and strength. Paul was losing control of the situation, he couldn't get away from the murder in 2002, which means that Stella would have won.
Again, as Paul himself said, he likes it when others suffer., physically and mentally. He could only inflict moral suffering on Stella in this way, she herself voiced it during the interrogation.

Even when he was shot, he was lying and smiling, because he was sure that he would die and everything would not turn out the way Stella wanted.

It turned out the way he wanted it to.

the feeling of the finale is twofold.
it seems to be both dynamic and unexpected, but somehow it all doesn't fit together.

Katie abruptly became too submissive, although in the last episode she was angry and hated the whole world, except for Paul. and did she really have enough of a short conversation with Stella to calm down? somehow, her anger was quickly suppressed.

now at least it is clear why Anderson's injury was moved from the shoulder closer to the elbow. so that the damage would not be so superficial and the injury would become more serious, which later played into Spector's hands when he attacked Stella. although I still had hope that he would be able to defeat Paul.

it is unclear why Anderson was prescribed all these mysterious views. I already thought that he was a dark horse and in the end his true identity would be revealed to us. I even had the idea that he could have been raised in the same orphanage and subjected to violence. xs, why. perhaps because he was somehow abruptly introduced into the series, brought to the fore, and then they tried to quietly drain him, citing an injury. and they threw another one under the finale. character development? No, why.

The third season is quite tedious and not as exciting as the first two. something was always missing. and in the first episode, too much time was devoted to the operation. You probably forgot that this is not a medical series.

The season finale is dynamic in itself, but also controversial. I assumed that Paul had started this mess in a mental hospital in order to get out and hide somewhere. and then this stupid suicide. and yes, it can be assumed that in this way he wanted to show Stella that victory was his, but Paul also liked to mock his victims. it would be much more logical if he ran away and occasionally called/sent Stella postcards or something else. and so, it turned out to be strange and a little improbable.

and there were storylines that were thrown in, and then did not give development. and why was all this, one wonders.

Overall, the series is good, 8 out of 10. but season 3 could have been more interesting to do. with such a cast.

A wonderful atmospheric detective series, stylistically very reminiscent of the famous "Murder" (USA). There is no excessive bruising, endless shootouts and chases of "tough cops" after "bad guys" in the series. However, all the charm of a psychological thriller is provided for you: there is such a chill and horror from the screen that there is an effect of full presence.
The series may not appeal to those who expected a detective story, and this is a psychological thriller. I would even say a psychiatric thriller.

Although the plot is banal (a smart maniac against a smart investigator), it is fascinating and, oddly enough, it sounds pleasant to watch for such a topic as murder. In my opinion, there are two reasons: the sophistication and beauty of the main characters (the murderer and his pursuer) and the minimization of scenes of violence and sex, I would even say their delicacy. It is only in the last episode that the cruelty is no longer covered by anything.

The first two seasons are devoted to the commission of crimes and the search for the killer. The third is the reasons for the origin of evil in a person: Everything comes from childhood and adults are to blame for everything.

I was afraid that this season, after Paul's capture, it would be quite a drag, but everything turned out to be quite good. That is, yes, it was possible to fit, probably, four episodes, but nevertheless.

The interrogations (of both Alvarez and Paul himself) and Stella's conversations with Tom are coolly written/Jim/Katie and many other characters. Anderson matches the name of his heroine ("Star"), and Dornan is very cool. Spector still managed to pull it off in his own way, even though he was already, in fact, cornered; but now he will not rot in prison for all the hell that he has done, unfortunately. Well, in a sense, the circle has closed: it all started with his mother's suicide in the same way and ended with the same suicide for him. It's good that they told us more about Paul's past (scary as it is, without ever whitewashing the killer himself) and Stella (albeit to a lesser extent).

Of the minor characters, Paul's family had good lines (except they didn't tell us anything about Sally-Ann, it seems: did they put her in jail as a result for attempted murder? Or were they deprived of custody of the children and sent to a psychiatric clinic? Or what?), Rose, Katie, and Jim. Dani is also very good in the background. Stella's pre-final dialogue with Katie clarified a lot, especially about which people you need to reach out to: those who will understand your pain, and not revel in it; it would seem to be a simple truth, but it can be very difficult to comprehend it and bring it to life, so it is important that an adult with authority does it for you He spoke. I want to believe that Katie will now improve her life, as much as possible with a criminal record, of course.

Another plus is the excellent gloomy soundtrack (this ringing melody is now stuck in my head), Belfast as a very specific location, and the atmosphere as a whole: cold and viscous. Cool, in general.

I didn't really like the ending, but even it was in Paul's style. He was clearly influenced by Stella's words in the conference room, after which he beat her up - and the most important thought was that she needed him, she wanted him to receive punishment, death-it would be too easy. Many people suffered from him, he nurtured evil in them, left a deep mark. I think that his suicide was conceived by him for only one purpose - so that Stella's case would not be completed. He's so cold-blooded

A very disappointing third season and the ending in general.
Perhaps the creators wanted to throw riddles: amnesia or not, bipolar or not, etc... But I don't even want to think about it. The impression of the first two seasons is very spoiled.

@FairyDream: everything becomes pretty obvious if you look closely at the little things and listen carefully to the dialogues.

I regret that I did not discover this series earlier. I watched it for 5 days.
I am delighted with the dialogues, the cast and the plot.
But I've been waiting for suicide since season 1, since Paul talked to Katie in a cafe, where he directly explained to her how maniacs end up. It was said in plain text that its ending was suicide. Therefore, I have been waiting for this moment for season 2 and 3 and it did not disappoint.
Well, it's a very tasty series, in the sense that after every dialogue and scene there is something to think about.
And Dornan's filmography is generally funny: in 50 shades, this is the lite version of Spector in the Crash, and in the Tourist, this is Spector after the accident, an alternative reality 😂
And of course Gillian Anderson is beautiful - I would not refuse a series with the same character investigating the next murders.

The series is a terrible burden, I watched all three seasons at 2x speed and I do not regret it. They would have cut half and it would have turned out to be an excellent +-8 episode mini-series. Well, it was worth watching just for the sake of Anderson, she pulled the whole series on herself

Well, as a result: I personally will not call it boring, I like the atmosphere and the pace. The music is gorgeous, really sneaks in and sets up the stage. The actors are great. The camerawork is a workshop. It is pleasant to watch, interesting, addictive.
But there are questions for the screenwriters and producers. I don't think the series required 3 seasons and so many episodes. Having removed all the lines that did not play any role at all (I will not bore you with enumerations), and a number of scenes that were clearly intended to fill in the timekeeping, it was possible to get a strong drama in every sense for 8-10 episodes from this material. As a spectator, I did not see the point in this stretching. Why the creators need this is another question that does not concern me. If you pour a lot of water into a fine wine, it, alas, will lose the charm of its taste.
The ending did not upset or please. How would she fit the series. It's not very good for me, but I'm not an indicator either. I didn't like the maniac of the series for the lack of integrity. He's like everything and a little bit, but in general a very ordinary character. The actor did well, the character did not.
The result: the atmosphere, the picture, the music, the cast are conducive to watching and having fun. But as a thriller and drama, "Crash" is a strong average guy, no more.

This season, I was pleased with Stella, probably because she became more human, or something. And I'm very sorry for Paul's wife.. brought it is called. I expected a different ending, to be honest.

An amazing series. My favorite season. It all came together. Every phrase in the last episode led to this. She burst into tears at the end.

And the whole series reminded me of the idea of the anime Death Note: the same tension from how the killer is being searched for, how Paul hides, confuses the tracks, and even amnesia, if it was real, correlates with Light's memory loss after abandoning the Notebook! In general, fire, not the series, although I put on 4 because of the periodically prolonged scenes. As we wrote above, it is a pity that I did not discover this series earlier, but I am glad that it is over.

@golubatsby: I agree! It also seemed to me that there was a clean vehicle following, the same tension! The floor is generally beautifully played out, constantly fluctuating from admiration to contempt. In short, a great series!

I still didn't believe in his amnesia. A tough series, so many attacks and such a creepy scene of strangling a psycho that I just rewound, brrr.
I agree with the comments above, it is unlikely that someone like Paul would commit suicide, he loved himself too much and loved his daughter, I think that for her sake he would have stayed.
But in general, I liked the film, I don't regret the time spent watching it.

@Irson: some real maniacs committed suicide in prison, their psychopathy does not allow them to be imprisoned, death is better

It seems Stella wanted Paul to live, not just to put him away, but also to close his own gestalt 🤷🏻♀️ kill himself the same way he killed his victims ... well, this is at least some kind of justice 🤦🏻♀️

Странный осадочек остался после последней серии. Очень медленный сезон. Очень много ненужных деталей - медицинские подробности, все такое. Линия из первого сезона про Монро вообще незачем была. Девушка с умершим ребёнком на работе у Салли, гопники эти… с одной стороны сериал очень понравился - много глубоких разговоров, красивые съемки, роскошная Джиллиан. С другой будто не дотянули где-то по сценарию. Почему Пол повесился? Не очень похож на суицидника. С его изобретательностью мог бы и сбежать даже. Ощущение, что это был экспромт, попросил навести шороху, как будто уже собрался сбежать (зачем шкафчик директора открыл? Что там искал?) и вдруг передумал. Тема амнезии так до конца и не прояснена, придерживаюсь идеи, что не было её, чистое притворство. Ну и что за гранью моего понимания, как маньяка, пусть и с предполагаемой амнезией отправляют в санаторий. Послушала расписание и сама бы так пожила недельку. Почему после нападения на Стеллу его не поместили в корпус более строгого режима, в одиночку? Просто привезли и сняли наручники.. в общем, третий сезон не очень понравился, но общие впечатления о сериале хорошие, не похож на другие.

Классный сериал, одна из лучших работ Джейми, я до последнего ждала что он инсценирует свою смерть и уедет ..но авторы не додумались к сожалению) соглашусь с верхними комментами, интересна судьба его супруги и сына

In the comments, I did not see a look at the fact that it could be that Stella led him to thoughts of suicide and his method. Hence the final scene. Imho, then the question of who outplayed whom remains more open...
