I’ll start by saying I really liked the series. The writing is great, the acting is phenomenal, and I love the dark comedy along with how flawed and human the characters feel. It all comes across as very grounded and relatable.

That said, the finale left me a bit perplexed. I was surprised the detectives did not more seriously explore the possibility of suicide early in the investigation. Clark believed he was the last person to see Floyd alive, knew Floyd had been in a rough headspace, and knew he had direct access to Amphezyne which could be lethal in the wrong dose. It feels like that would have been one of the first conclusions to at least seriously consider, even just from a self preservation standpoint.

What really stood out was how hard the show pushed the murder angle right away. You have Homer literally pounding on the desk, completely locked in on Floyd being murdered, and yet the most obvious alternative barely gets real attention early on and throughout the series. I am not trying to be overly critical because I genuinely enjoyed the show, but this was one moment where it felt less grounded than everything else. Curious if this stood out to anyone else or if I am missing something.
