In the Dark (TV Series) Expectation Is the Root of All Heartache (2021) User Reviews

What a finale! Gave me so many emotions!

Well mostly anger and sadness though. Yes Murphy is a toxic person no one denies that. But, she didn't deserve what happened to her. Especially when she's taking the rap for something that she didn't do. I really hope Murphy cuts all those worthless people out of her life next season well except maybe for Felix. The others tho? They don't deserve to lick her shoes. BTW can't wait til Josh ends up with egg on his face: clown. Guess I have to wait til next season for that.

Disappointing Season

[bauerlegalservices · 3/10 · 5 November 2021]

The writing declined this season in general, but the character arcs of so many people were hard to watch. Josh and Officer Gene have both become deplorable. Josh is a toxic ego-driven baby man who had his feelings hurt. Gene, for some reason, has empowered him to exact his revenge in an over-the-top way that isn't realistic--he ends up driving the case against Murphy more than anyone. The bromance that put him at the helm, for all intents and purposes, makes little sense. His dialogue has no nuance whatsoever. That character is ruined and needs to be cut. Gene, who was a likeable "good guy" in previous seasons, has become a Grade A douche bag. There's very little grey in this season--all the characters are good or bad, except Trey, Darnell, Murphy and Felix, but grey is where things get interesting. I love Murphy's scrappy smarts and Felix is my favorite character. If you can build the next season around Murphy, Felix, Trey and Darnell, I would watch but the rest of them aren't worth another season.

Anger is all I can feel

When will Murphy finally learn, not 1 of her friends has take responsibility for the parts they have played in every crime. Murphy is a hot mess but each of them are guilty as well. Max & Jess who claim to love her, are the worse. They have no problem putting all the blame on her while refusing to accept their parts in all the crimes. Felix finally in the end promises to be there for her because she is his best friend but I'm disappointed they didn't apologize for the last time they saw each other as well. This has been the most disappointing season to the point I'm not sure I will bother watching season 4. The police are always talking about "the truth" but each of them need to take a good look in the mirror. Josh just wants revenge, Sarah Barnes breaks the law for her boyfriend & that's ok, Officer Gene Clemens what a joke, nothing more than a kid playing a cop & he's certainly not a "good" cop either. Let's be honest Murphy has solved more cases than the cops, they should give her a badge. As much as people will want to see Murphy cleared I'm not sure the writers will allow that to happen "ever" & I think they will see a fallout in viewers & ratings.
