It was a good finale, but man I would've been fuming if I'd had to wait a year to see what happened after that. In the grand scheme of things, we got a bunch more cliffhangers and questions and not many answers. The very last scene as well, I'd almost go as far as to say it was cheap. Nonetheless, we did get a lot of good moments. This Laura mystery did lend some answers, and while no murderer has been identified, Leo and Jacques were implicated and should definitely be locked up for good. Laura herself was probably manipulated a great deal. Cooper going undercover in the casino delivered a brilliant scene where the disgusting Jacques reveals what happened while he was with Laura, and it was some great acting by Kyle MacLachlan who had to gauge what obscenities he was hearing whilst maintaining his cover. Nadine's story has been pretty tragic all season, and though she didn't really have much plot relevance, it was still a sad story nonetheless. Catherine actually makes for quite a good villain, just as manipulative as Audrey and even more of a schemer. Speaking of, Audrey's scene when Ben walks in got a quite big laugh out of me. It's the kind of funny coincidence that works best in a series like this or Fargo for example. Hank isn't a great character so far in my eyes, especially for someone who was introduced late. However, him shooting Leo was some much needed justice for a despicable character. Overall it was a good end to a very promising first season, and I'm looking forward to the rest of this story
