Altogether its a very tight show that moves everything along on rails towards an ending that was long planned and thus impossible to make surprising. The doubt, their "dance", "take me with you"... When you have nothing to lose, there is nothing to fear. Ridicule, disappointment, etc. As such the necessity to have the proof-of-the-pudding be this violence-done-to-youths is sucking up to teens and talking down. Suddenly all of the previous story is about not fitting into the school system (- which may be extremely relevant in the US school system, but is nowhere relevant on the same scale anywhere in the world). Rather than any other conclusion you could possibly pick fra the shelves of existential angst and uncertainty among people ALL ages: being ignored, being lonely, feeling unrecognised, unloved, unseen.
The BIG drama and possible lies made obvious by the books (and thank you for making reading a suspicious activity for bent minds!) was SO EASY and dramatically empoverished that it almost, not quite, but almost is a Deus ex Machina. Writers, you got away with it - but you lost me.
