The series ends before viewers see what the two talk about.
Ending on that moment of the two of them and how John is going to address the truth felt like the most relevant and also resonant ending for the series. So the ending of the series, coming down between him and Nolan, is what he has come to realize and then looking at the next generation and figuring out whether he can change the direction of this family or if that’s even possible.
And so is his personal dilemma about how he deals with what happened between him and Danny and the family history and whether he can put an end to what’s at the core of this family of not dealing with truth. John is really the center, in essence, the moral center of the series, of the story, of the family, from the very beginning of the first episode with his voiceover. So much of the series is about dealing with the truth and perspective and where those two things collide. Why did you want to end the series on John and Nolan and on Nolan wanting to find out what happened to his dad? Read on for Kessler’s thoughts on the ending, why the Rayburns seemingly got away with two murders while Eric O’Bannon (Jamie McShane) took a 30-year plea deal and whether he’d work with Netflix again.
