3.0

There were a lot of parts that didn’t really seem necessary and not as much focus on parts that would have brought everything together. Did I miss the part where they explained why he was bringing the women to caves specifically? Or why young students were his target instead of women like his grandmother? They made such a big deal about the office mole and ultimately it didn’t have anything to do with the story and had a rushed explanation at the end. They explained his childhood trauma but did the police questioning about the wasp/ladder death end up not going anywhere? I’m just not feeling fully satisfied with everything.
