Read no further if you don’t want spoilers!

I thought it was a perfect final episode. I had a feeling when John Ross confessed that it was all a bit convenient, and that it was odd they weren’t showing a flashback (which they did later with Ryan). Haha, of course Stephen King was right 😂
I cried so much at the scenes in the car with Lore, and at her house. Cos I kind of of thought ...oh, Lore lied to Mare to protect John, okaaayyyyy. But when you find out she lied to protect her son - well, of course she did. Ryan was such a sad character - and it was a stupid, sad accident. And now Lore has to raise the baby! She needed that hug. I had a feeling that Lore would be involved somehow - they wouldn’t waste an actress like her. Suuuuch good acting from her, and Kate, and Kate’s mum.
I’m glad those of us who thought Dylan ultimately wanted to keep DJ were along the right lines 😂 what a red herring he was 😂
And Guy Pearce must have had lots of fun just playing the love interest 😂

I loved the scene in the restaurant with Frank and Faye and everyone laughing, and the wedding scene - hasn’t the actress playing Siobhan got such a gorgeous voice?! Will def watch the whole thing again.

As a mother to a 14 year old boy, the bit about her wanting to protect him really got me. It's been a fantastic series.

Agree, Lori doesn’t deserve commuppance. This was drama about what women suffer, put up with, do ......as much as it was about crime.

I didn’t 100% buy Dylan’s commitment to DJ, though was glad to see it. We weren’t ever shown him being a good dad prior to Erin’s death, it seems a barely tolerable burden. But perhaps his environment didn’t allow him to show his commitment to the baby and he had to behave like an asshole. Although all along that didn’t tally with how devoted his own parents were.

He goes from pulling guns on a teenage girl and being a horrible son to his parents (seriously I’d have slapped him into next week if he were mine and I’m not a smacker 🙂) to doing it all for the sake of his parents? This was one of the few issues I had with this show, as marvellous as it was. Dylan’s story just didn’t ring true.
 
Hi everyone, I just have a question about last night's episode. About 10 minutes in, a young woman was being given a house because everyone in the neighbourhood had pulled together and got it for her, or something? What was that, who was she??
 
Yeah I loved the finale and cried several times, but I'm not sure in *what* scenario it would be OK for Lore to keep the baby? I don't think it would be OK if the husband killed the mother and I'm fairly sure it's not OK when it turns out that her own son killed the mother?!

I don’t think ( in the real world) DJ could have stayed within the family despite it being an accidental shooting.
