All throughout season 3 I kept wanting to quit watching. But I was curious enough to finish, and I'm glad I did. I've read quite a few reviews, and I think people either hate it or love this last episode, and indeed the whole 3rd season. I think most of the reviews are way off in saying none of the characters in this season are "bad". Nick Haas, from what we know of him, was a pure sociopath/psychopath. No feeling except rage and the desire to manipulate. Jamie was not psychopathic as he clearly experienced love and a longing for connection with other people. But Jamie was definitely messed up. No way, as some suggest, that he was simply depressed, experiencing a run of the mill mental illness. Depression, on its own, does not make one violent, or psychotic, as Jamie was (he experienced both delusions and hallucinations.) I think it was fascinating to see how he behaved when he met his end, and it was equally fascinating to see Ambrose feeling such deep compassion as Jamie died. I'll most likely watch the 4th season when it comes to Netflix.
