This was a flawed show for sure, nothing is ever perfect and if you only focus on the flaws, you'll surely hate it. But I loved every second of it, warts and all.
what happened?? did he die? or the cops caught him or did he runaway?
I think he is an empty shell of what he once was and wanted to be caught. He is being dragged along to runaway. So he didn't die. At least that's my interpretation. There shouldn't be a season 2.
