    I thought the ending was great though a little abrupt. Definitely want more, such a weird atmosphere and tension throughout the entire series and it feels like there was more ground to cover.

    Just watched this over a period of two days. I feel like my brain was rinsewashed with acid and raped. And it was such a confusing yet enjoyable experience that I want more even though people who I liked were killed off for such pitiful reasons.

    Normally when I watch a show I can put myself in the world and say that I would have done this at this point, or that this is the type of person I would have tried to be, or etc. But with this setting, I have no clue if I would have been able to do anything, or even if I'd know what the "correct" actions would have been.

    Just finished watching this series again. Feel the same way. That's why it's such good writing. Incredibly complex look at morality and how difficult decisions can be in life. Also does an amazing job keeping you guessing about every characters motivations. It's been a while since a story has truly made me feel sad. Like Really sad. Two thumbs and one middle finger up.
