I liked how season 3 was progressing but the resolution left a lot to be desired

Ain't that the truth. I saw a lot of praise for it back when it released, but >!"It was all an accident" is not very compelling!<

The resolution actually made it more real to me. A matter of perspective.

The “resolution” makes no sense if you apply reality to it.

>!Like, his son finds that slip of paper, immediately knows he was at that location for a reason, does five minutes of investigating and immediately comes to the same conclusion his father did. Then he just, ya know, tells him the next day when he is lucid again. It’s not some great tragedy that he solved the crime and never knew it bc of his degenerative disease, his kid woulda just told him what happened the next day. It’s only a tragic ending because we don’t see the aftermath which would have followed a very few basic steps of logic. In the real world if it was a real story this all would have been handled and resolved in the few days after the ending of the show and everyone would live happily ever after!<

I took it that the resolution >!wasn’t reality. That his son didn’t really do that investigating. That the protagonist’s trauma from the case combined with his degenerative mental state built that narrative as a shield and comfort. It was presented as reality, but I took it as the reality the protagonist experienced, not real reality.!<

Reality tends not to involve people hightailing it towards random locations that they see scrawled on random bits of paper
