Season 7, Episode 13
Terrible ending for a terrific series

Warning: Spoilers
I was astonished by this series, the best ever for me concerning rogue cops. Far better than the French one named BRAQUO, also speaking of borderline heats. The only thing that upsets me in this series is the very ending. I speak of the last seconds of the last episode, where SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS we see Mackay condemned to stay at a desk as a common clerk, a real punishment for him, the elephant cemetery, and suddenly grabbing a gun in a drawer and then standing up and getting out of the office where he was supposed to face of doom. His punishment. I would have preferred to have him, just like this, with the camera focused on his eyes. Period. But here, he walks away with a gun in his hand, and we all suppose that he will fight. I perfectly understand that most audiences appreciate this option, the hero who decides to fight instead to be killed like a bull in a slaughterhouse. But the question is: What the hell will he do, what will happen to him? I love square, accurate ending, and not necessarily open ones, especially for crime stories.
