Late to the conversation, but I thought the season was good overall, with the only truly bad episode being the finale. I definitely don’t think a happy ending fits the mood of the show
I had a theory leading up to the finale that Wayne’s daughter had died, specifically that the kidnapper had done it. This was because his son and daughter in law seemed so squirmy when he asked about his daughter at the dinner table as they were clearly lying about her status/whereabouts. I personally think that if they had written it so that Wayne tried to make a move despite the warning from big bad limo guy (name escapes me) and gotten caught and lost his daughter as a consequence. Then in his dementia-riddled reinvestigation he’d rediscover that his daughter died because of him, and that his wife eventually committed suicide because of her death (with/without knowledge of Wayne’s hand in it). That would have been a dark and twisted end to the story that a sadistic evil fuck like me would have enjoyed. I want that sinking uneasy feeling like a Black Mirror provides
