'True Detective' Season 2 Finale: Did Fans Like Show's Conclusion? [PHOTO]
WARNING: Spoilers for True Detective Season 2 finale ahead. If you haven't seen Season 2, Episode 8 Omega Station.
It appears three words can really sum up how things ended on the season 2 finale of True Detective.
(Almost) everyone died.
The 90-minute conclusion to the troubled second season saw nearly all of the good guys left-specifically, Ray Velcoro (Colin Farrell) and Frank Semyon (Vince Vaughn)--die in the final moments, with Ray the victim of a massive shoot-out led by Burris (James Frain) and Frank getting stabbed in a scuffle with gangsters he screwed over when he burned down the clubs and bleeding out in the desert.
And while some of the bad guys died too (Burris and Tony Chessani were really the only ones to walk away unscathed), it meant the show's only lead character to walk away alive was Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams), who wound up having a BABY with Velcoro that she conceived during their one night in a motel together. She was joined in her new life on the run by Jordan (Kelly Reilly), Frank's wife.
So how did fans react to the finale? Some of the best tweets have been compiled below:

The Bad:
I've talked all season long about how I didn't think True Detective was as bad as everyone thought, but that ending was rough. — Matt Eurich (@MattEurich) August 10, 2015
Nothing made me miss True Detective season 1 more than True Detective season 2

The people on screen with Frank right now -- I have no idea who they are. Which seems about right for #TrueDetectiveSeason2 — Mo Ryan (@moryan) August 10, 2015

Only way to save True Detective S2 is if the finale ends with McConaughey waking up next to Harrelson saying he just had the weirdest dream. — Kevin Biggins (@TheBiggIdea) August 10, 2015
