non-linear storytelling? check
conflicted main character? check
series of dramatic events that seem related, but deep down, you know they're not? check

I finished it this weekend. I thought the show started out strong, but then started to lose me in some places.

Spoilers



Why the hell did they start off the season with Marcella all bloody in a bath tub, only to not reveal how/why she was there by season's end? How did everything go down at Grace's house? The taxi driver saw her moving a body and she also had the "flashbacks" of where the body was buried. My guess is that she did kill Grace the same way as the serial killer after she blacked out, which is what she was doing to Henry at his home. If she did kill Grace, why wouldn't Henry come out and say that he killed everyone else, but Grace. Why did Henry emulate the original serial killer? Also, what the hell happened with her and the taxi driver's brother? They just showed her black out and then wake up with no one there.

Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but in the end, the questions just seemed to keep adding up, only to never get resolved.

well, we know why, we dont know how

Guessing she could have hit her head on Grace's counter, which is why there was another female blood sample in Grace's home and why she was bloody in the tub.

No, her brother killed her

Grace was alive when Marcella showed up at her house. They talked before she had her blackout moment. Marcella watched CCTV to see that she drove to Grace's house at 9:20pm and left at 11:16pm. Henry left his phone at the bar from 10pm to 11:50pm. Henry would have had to kill her sometime after Marcella left, and then have time to make it back to the bar to break in and get his phone. Did Marcella go back after Henry killed her to move the body? Did her blackouts really last that long?

What you thought was shitty, I thought it was fricking cool.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the show. Just trying to get some ideas on what other people think happened. The most logical explanation is that Henry killed Grace, and Marcella moved the body for some crazy, blackout induced reason. But, I'm sticking with the theory that Marcella actually killed Grace, and that Henry didn't dispute the charge of killing Grace because his mission was accomplished: Grace dead. He wanted Sylvie to hurt, thinking that Henry was the one who took her daughter's life.
