It was a bit depressing and super artsy in its non-linear approach, but incredibly intriguing. I prefer the interpretation of the plot which suggests true supernatural events personally, even if the showrunners say that's not how it is. Look up the theory for a mind-bender.

who was confused about plot? her appearance was exactly as she wanted to be, match to the knife and hate for men. ray was emotionally dead except for his kid and the woman at the end., frank was the top dog until he lost his focus and stepped into a much bigger game that he could not win and would not give in to, a bigger dog is always on it;s way to take you down.. season 3 was the best told tale i have heard for a long time, season one left me unsettled and suspicious of people,it was the conspiracy theory that i suspect is all too likely to be true, season 2 was just grim and much too close to reality .

The story is very dark, but the great thing about this show is that it actually has an ending. They don't try and stretch the story forever. Season one has a beginning and an end.
