The story has a interesting arc that included that cast yet doesn't bring it full circle which creates many unknowns for the teams future
The main battle is between Butcher and Hughie Campbell ( Jack Quaid) to try and expose the team but things get complicated quick and go sideways for them also.
As it get to the climactic end some questions get answered as to who is to blame for the entire sage yet that more questions to be answered. Hence for sequel coming soon
