I won't rate this show out of respect for the actors involved who with all their talent entertained me as a viewer. I loved the fraternal love between two men who overcame their differences and stuck with each other regardless of the difficulties which were tossed at them.
I should have abandoned this series after the end of season two which even with the heartbreaking death of Meemaw I considered as a betrayal to the viewer. But she was elderly and alone I rationalized her demise as a mercy especially after having learnt about the part of her grandson TJ in the deaths of those children. Although it is implied that TJ was somehow evil is in my opinion unfair since he was manipulated by the Reverend. I finished watching the third season and I must warn the future viewers of the betrayal of the writers. The entire third season revolves around the mysterious disappearance of Florida, Haps former love interest who goes into the town run by the Klan. Hap and Leonard aren't exactly clever in their investigation but it doesn't take a genius to put the pieces together. There is a mysterious girl called Belinda who remains a mystery and quite out of place. She looks like something taken out of a Stephen King novel and quite creepy. Her character development is abandoned quite suddenly and the viewer never gets any explanation as to why she behaves like one of the children of the corn. It's in the final two episodes that whole story falls to pieces. The viewer is led to believe that Florida is dead and I fine with that if it serves to further the plot and characters. But it is in the final episode that viewer is revealed that Florida is very much alive and held trapped in the booth of an abandoned car. There was hope that there might be a decent ending to wrap up this series. The writers however betrayed the viewers. They killed Florida in the most meaningless and unworthy way. After having endured what she had only to die in a flood like something from the bible is a betrayal to the viewer. If she was dead then she should have remained dead but to bring her back from the dead to kill her off was wrong wrong wrong. The writers should be ashamed of themselves.
