I just watched the finale. Even more cringe than I imagined it would be.
The whole son abduction scene was ridiculous. He's on the phone with his mom who is telling him to STOP, and he thinks, "but I'm going to ignore you and get into this van of the bad guy who just threatened your life to SAVE YOU!"
The whole shootout scene made no sense. She has the drop on him and he is able to turn a shotgun on her and she just ducks? And why the hell did he give a rats ass about the mom at that point anyway? He was afraid she may tell the police? Never mind the big ass fire and the 50 burning bodies he thought was in the barn. Or the dead guy in the study with an axe wound and about 10 gallons of blood all over the floor?
And, I was joking with my wife that Parker would be a dude, and was accidentally right.
It was like somebody had a fever dream and wrote it down as a script. Surely the books aren't this bad?
