I still think Pru is dangerous and naive. She and Mark are going to have some big problems. I thought the conclusion was acceptable. There would be some real issues with overall believability. But all the twists and turns are indeed explained. The relationships that don't necessarily relate to Jesse's case are examined (like Danny's upbringing and his rage). As these Netflix series go, this one did hold my attention, although they did throw a lot on the road. I was wondering how the record producer was part of the Jesse story. It's explained but not in a very satisfactory, or realistic way. I think my interest was more with the unraveling of the plot than with any affection for the characters. The final scenes were a bit saccharine.

All is explained, not all is plausible

Warning: Spoilers
Compulsively watchable, just don't think about it too hard afterwards. Everything is tied up, though not all of it makes sense. How is it that a doctor and a lawyer can take off from their jobs so frequently and so easily? If you had a friend who was a detective why would you resort to so much undercover work yourself? Why not just pass on information you get and let him investigate the leads? And how is it Slade knows so much about murder, getting rid of a body and a gun (the latter not an easy item to get ahold of legally in the UK), breaking and entering, etc? And why plant Jesse's DNA at a second crime scene and keep the mystery going? Why did Jesse run when his friends recognize him? But at least everything introduced was a Chekhov's gun and did come into play eventually. So less loose ends than "Lost."
