That little talk with rich guy Hoyt was overblown, turned out to be nothing and nobody got hurt, Hoyt didn't really know what was going on.
If I had to choose, last year's HBO miniseries "The Night Of" had me hooked all the way, it was way better. If I had to choose just miniseries in general, I'll take any of the three Fargo seasons over TD Season 3. It just felt empty at the end, sort of like the Seinfeld finally.
I almost forget, Escape from Dannemora that just ended last month on Showtime, that was really excellent!!! Check it out if you haven't seen it.

I thought the ending was satisfying. Not great, but satisfying. The execution was sloppy and too drawn out. But the idea was clever. It was totally unexpected even if that led to an outcome people didn't want. I think people have become too stuck on things ending the way they hope or else be radically surprised by some shocking twist. Then when an ending like TD3 or how I met your mother comes along, people feel gipped.
I mean, this ending while drawn out was really well filmed. Brought closure while still leaving everything up for interpretation. And actually brought a happy ending to a usually dark series. All while tossing in some punchy twists. It may sit bland now, but if the series continues for a few more seasons, i feel like the ending will age well.
