Obviously, Coop's problems won't end with Ash's death, since he didn't really kidnap him and someone more serious was behind it.

At the same time, I hope that Coop and the company will not bury Ash's corpse somewhere in the forest, because there are still enough problems and they have not formally violated anything. He got stoned and started shooting with a pistol himself, which is easy to prove, it's easier to settle it legally through the police.

@alexeyfalko: I think the FBI was kidnapping him so he wouldn't disrupt the operation. Like he'll think it's Ash, but in fact it's a secret service operation.
@Paramelion: He quickly realized that it wasn't Ash, just by asking him. The FBI would have been highly likely to introduce themselves. What's the point of them hiding? They would have threatened to send Coop to prison to do whatever he needed to do. It's more effective than kidnapping someone under the guise of someone unknown and intimidating them. It's more like the lawyer who threatened Coop at the Hamptons party, and there's probably some mafia behind him that's bigger than Ash.

@alexeyfalko: Maybe it's not even an operation against Ash, but against that foundation. Because they were following this assistant who was fired.

The body of the series is boring as Chalk, trying to screw everything up. But the ending is fire

If Ash dies, then this season is full of garbage. The villain accidentally dies and the problem is solved.
It's just a shame for screenwriters at the level of the "Twin Brother" from Fischer to merge the key line like that.

Otherwise, I like everything, both the vibe of the series and the supporting lines. I won't say that the time was wasted, but the season will still be rubbish.

The series never ceases to amaze with its twists.
Ash burst into their world and disappeared just as abruptly.

Oh my. Funny)) To be honest, I thought it was Barney who would get drunk on alcohol in a compartment with a painkiller and blurt out too much in front of Ash or Nick. And everything turned out to be much simpler, but at the same time it was amazing - Coop himself revealed the cards. But it turned out unexpectedly, though I didn't expect Ash to be taken out of the game that way)

And everything matched so perfectly. I hope the guys will enrich themselves or do something with Ash's property or finances.

If Ash had shot Nick or Barney, it would have been more epic. But now I'm curious how they'll rake it out. One corpse has already been buried this season.

@Su_forever: How many characters in your memory slipped on the stone floor and crashed?
I'm waiting for the top 10.
Owen is dead. Cooper, Barney and Nick are now facing a big problem. They'll definitely be charged with murder. In my opinion, the guys will be thinking about how to get rid of the body without leaving any traces. I also wonder what will happen to Owen's daughter. In fact, she was left alone.

@Rafael_Vasilyan: Hmm, but it seems to me, on the contrary, they should not hide it. Ash had slipped on his own, and he was drunk and stoned.

@Maniachka: everything looks logical from our side, it's not their fault)
But there are signs of a struggle, plus machinations with Nick's club have been revealed - that's the motive for you.
Although criminologists will probably determine with high accuracy how death occurred, which should eventually remove the suspicions of the guys.

That's my theory. We heard the guys who kidnapped Coop say, "Leave the money where it is..." It seems to me that Cricket is behind all this. She's making full use of the $400 million that is currently in the Excelsior Foundation, and for some reason that we have yet to find out, she simply cannot allow it to be withdrawn from there. Well, why else would she be given so much screen time if she wasn't involved in the whole game? Think about it.

I disagree with the claims that the main antagonist was simply removed, it seems obvious to me that Ash has never been the main antagonist there))) I can feel the end of the season on the cliffhanger, because there are too many branches to close at once. True, they also predicted last season, but they kind of pulled through.

@dariaul: It seems that the first episode of the season began with the family vacationing in Mexico. And then Coop kind of starts telling me how it's been a year since he was accused of murder up to this point, right? Or did I get it wrong somehow?. That is, this scene from the beginning of the first episode should be smart in the next one. That is, Coop will probably decide that everything is resolved, they will go on vacation, and then at the end of the vacation and the episode there will be some unexpected turn, H.Z.

@alesenok: No, I think they went to Mexico in the summer before the start of the school year - last season it was said that Tori still has a year before Princeton and this year passes between events. The children were still studying last season, that is, a couple of months before the end of the year + three months of summer + another half year of the next class. Sam also says that he and Mel haven't spoken in a year. And in the next scene after Mexico, when they meet for the first time at another get-together, Mel talks to Coop, and he replies, "We had a fight," referring to the scene in the hotel bar. So I think it was just foreplay. Well, maybe I'm wrong.

Words cannot describe how annoying Mel and everything connected with her is. The scenes with her don't move the plot, they don't show anything interesting, but they just clog up the timing and are even more annoying. Are screenwriters interested in reading the feedback? Because they don't like her in the West either, and the fact that they're trying to bring her and Coop together only begs the question: why?

Well, Ash was somehow ridiculously leaked. The banana peel just wasn't enough.

@Akuma2027: To be honest, at the end of last season, Mel and Coop looked relatively good - such a looming chance to build a new life with their family. But this year the chemistry has decreased. In fact, her line is: 80% - whining about fading femininity; 15% - emotional pull-push inside family ties with children and Ellie, and another 5% - playing chemistry with Coop so that the viewer constantly keeps in mind that ex-wives do not happen, the connection between these two is too strong, and that our hero he won't get into any kind of relationship, not for a million other objective reasons, but because he's so emotionally unavailable and hasn't gone through the divorce to the end. And they also show us the female part of their community through her.
But yes, she is kept too nominally, almost not integrated into the plot, which is sad for the character and exhausting for the viewer. And it looks like the scriptwriters just don't know what to do with it at all and why it's needed. We could at least give her an implementation with writing a book or something.
While she's hanging in the story space in the void and waiting for them to be brought back together with gg in a season or two, so that later she finds out about his affairs and makes a scandal.

@AlinBlueberry: I don't know what kind of happy life can be after cheating.
But then Coop continues to communicate with his "best" friend and is constantly being driven to his ex. That's what I don't like about the bigger part of the show.

Damn, you've had enough of your parties with Ash!
And how did he slip so much and fall headfirst to the floor, which was immediately fatal?
Well, at least it looks like Coop wasn't really abducted by him. And it doesn't seem to be Jack or the Feds.
Maybe there's someone else higher up, like that rich lady from the yacht he fucked not so long ago. For that kind of money, it's not surprising. Great opportunities - great responsibility ©

P.S. But at least Mel was finally satisfied) she could have found someone younger a long time ago, a half-finished MILF...

Ash, of course, was a bright character, but a creepy one. His stalking will scare away any normal woman. I would like Sam to be brought together with Coop, it's a pity it won't happen.
Mel, the way I look at it, it doesn't really matter where or with whom. Just like my cat before we sterilized her: she screams and wants a man. My patience ran out, I started playing scenes with her men. Who would inform the showrunner? that the character is sliding down the audience's love scale towards Jeffrey Baratheon. And it's not because she's a gorgeous villain.
@mixer1701: Sam and Coop💔💔💔💔💔

The party is literally a fire
I liked the series. All the emotions, the heat, the denouement…
I agree with most of the comments on this thread, friends, we left all the most delicious for the final.
Maybe not everyone liked the season, with its specificity and idiosyncrasy, but I'm thrilled at this point, so I hope the finale doesn't disappoint.

Ash, a great character, was... but not the key one, I don't think he's the antagonist of the season. They eclipsed the eyes of the "glamorous murza" and finished beautifully with a cliffhanger.

I'm holding my fists for a great ending
