It's a real shame that fans allow theories and speculation to ruin their own enjoyment of a show.
Was this the standout episode of the show? Probably not. This whole season, and arguably the last three, have led to this moment and I think the direction they went in was entirely satisfying. 'The fourth man' reveal was the only logical answer left. They were the only character who has been in it from the beginning and had been regularly appearing (other than our core trio which would have been awful if it had been one of them).
If you take away all the hype and speculation you're left with a bleak look at the police system in this country. There will never be a perfect resolution because that's not how life works. Finding out it was a series of corrupt officers rather than one man was fascinating. There will be no end to this search and that's exactly what it should be.
Some see an anti-climax, I see a bleak look into the real world. Jed Mecurio went for theme rather than pleasing fans and he should be applauded for trying, and slightly missing, than doing what was expected.
Bravo and thanks for a great run.
