Quite a ride to the end! I stopped watching it after season 5 and never really picked it back up. It’s interesting how you sort of lose perspective on what an amoral, feral animal Macke is until you see him totally cornered at the end.
Even so, throwing Ronnie under the bus was a shock
It was quite an ending to an outstanding series. I went from rooting for Mackey to hating him because of your spoilers there, as that character had become my favourite over the course of the series. Of course, that I was rooting for Mackey in the first place was quite a feat from the writers, to make him sympathetic despite all the things he did.
Also, the contents of your spoiler box are visible in the “hover over thread’s name” preview thing.
