Great stuff tonight, especially that last scene. Cohle finally found meaning to his life through the love for his daughter (or at least acknowledged it fully to himself). His empathy and caring nature always did shine through the protective nihilistic rhetoric.
However the mystery ended up (and I thought that was a pretty thrilling conclusion there), it really was a show about those two characters and their relationship throughout. A relationship that grew into strong friendship by the end.
I'll be sad to see it go, but I think we all saw the benefit of a short self-contained series like this.
