finished last night. I'm not going to spoil it for those who haven't seen the last few episodes but am confused about what happened to Hays and his wife. Help.

I want to know what was up with the final shot

I didn't get that final scene either I never had luck with the spoiler feature, so, y'all were warned...
At the end where Hays is sitting on the porch with his kids and Roland? Dead. She died somewhere between 1990 and 2014.
I've seen some say Hays dies in Vietnam and this was all a fantasy. Bull. Just assuming his dementia was taking him back to the jungle.
I liked the ending except for the book falling open to the exact page Hays needed to dot all the "i's" and cross all the "t's". He solved the case, found Julie and the dementia took it away.

How does it rate compared to both S1 & S2? Probably best one so far. s1 was terrific but I think s3 just shades it. Ali's a great actor but I wish he didn't mumble so much. Dorff was terrific too. s2 was way below s1 and s3 in terms of acting/plot/entertainment value etc. etc.

I think the final shot was supposed to be a metaphor for Hays completely succumbing to his dementia. That's how I read it, anyway. Overall a great season, a true return to form. Strangely similar to season 1 in that the finale is a bit underwhelming and ends on a more positive note than you'd expect for such a dark storyline. However, unlike season 1 which uncovers a broad conspiracy that the protagonists cannot completely bring down, season 3 hints at a larger conspiracy and reveals a very straightforward, personal story at the end.
It's for the best that he couldn't reveal the truth about Julie to anyone else, though it's a shame he couldn't quite get the satisfaction of solving the case before his condition got the better of him even if we, the audience do. Ultimately it was better for her that he couldn't share that information with anyone else, anyway. Though you have to wonder what his son will do with that address since you see him put it back in his pocket instead of throwing it away. Loved the way they ended it with Hays disappearing into the jungle. As with any great show you're always sad to see it go, but I'm really going to miss this world. It's awesome that they found a way to connect it to season 1, even as a throwaway reference in the middle of the season. The writing and the performances were amazing from start to finish, I hope we get a season 4 on par with 1 & 3, I think we can all agree that season 2 never happened.

How does it rate compared to both S1 & S2? SPOILERS: I just finished this last night and I have to say, it was a pile of shit. I don't get the praise for this. I think because season 2 was the worst ever, people were just happy to see anything better but this was goddamned terrible. Starts out okay and by episode 4 I was bored stiff. It's a 2 hour movie dragged out over 8 episodes. There are long boring passages of dialog that don't advance the story in anyway, or even the characters. The constant time changing was getting annoying and after a while they were just doing it to be "cool." (the driving the car in episode 8 and swinging between periods over and over which literally meant nothing). Pretentious people claim "you just don't get it." No, I get it. And it was pointless and stupid. And then the conclusion and you're going "that's it? All that for that?" Fucking awful. What a let down.

Seriously though, I hear what you're saying (even though I personally thought it was great). Nonlinear storytelling has often been a way of saying, "This story is actually pretty bland if we use the straightforward approach, so let's just muddle up the timeline and we'll have a mystery on our hands." But the acting is off the charts on this show, and I liked the twist of building a huge conspiracy and revealing a basic kidnapping; especially considering it's the opposite of season one. It's a rare example of subverting expectations in a way that actually makes the story more compelling (well at least for me, clearly not for you).

I thought it very well acted and cleverly scripted although the outcome was slightly banal, but then again so is life.

The story itself wasn't strong enough for nonlinear storytelling. It was severely weak. It all leads up to the guy with one eye telling us everything. Long drawn out repetitious conversations throughout, long boring scenes and we end with a guy telling us what happened. Really disappointing, I'm mad at myself for sitting through all 8 hours of it when simply jumping to the end would have saved a lot of time.

Ironically this is the same reason I gave up on Westworld season 2. No real story, just a bunch of time jumps to disguise the fact that nothing interesting or original is going on. What can I say, the performances really made True Detective for me even if the ending was underwhelming.

Agreed, Westworld 2 was dreadful, I literally couldn't finish, although I thought the first season was pretentious and made up as they went along as well.

I guess there will be a season 4 of Fargo. Loved Season 1 and 2, 3, not as much.
