Summary

  • Episode 8 ends with Eddie capturing Gospel John Dixon, exposing brother Freddy's role in attacks on the family, and forcing Freddy to decapitate Dixon with a chainsaw in a van.
  • Isabella's death in a seaplane explosion and the abduction of Charly's baby drive Eddie's revenge spree, until he realizes Freddy and Dixon—not Bobby Glass—were behind both crimes.
  • Bobby briefly appears to be the target after a captive claims he ordered the hit, but Susie tells Eddie Bobby had instead bought his debt from Stanley Johnston, and Eddie stops an assassination attempt in time.
  • Season 2 closes with Freddy emerging blood-soaked and hysterical, underscoring Eddie's turn toward greater ruthlessness as the crime story expands beyond Britain.
  • Netflix had already confirmed a third season two weeks before Season 2 premiered, though no release date has been announced after the 2.5-year gap between the first two seasons.
