I've never been so annoyed by an ending before that I've written a review - not even with Game of Thrones. But this ending infuriated me.
Firstly, it became obvious partway through the series that Simon was involved in his own death. The suggestion that it was Jake was instantly a confirmation to me.
Secondly, and most importantly - they didn't need to cover up Jake's death! It was an accident and they had multiple witnesses (albeit themselves) to confirm it. Nate wasn't seen by anyone so he could be left out of it if needed, but the others could explain the whole thing. Their stories would have matched each other, and the gun was Jake's! People saw them arguing at the party and the evidence was on the xbox which they were trying to take. They should have called 911 immediately which would also show it was an accident.
But of course this is a teen drama, so instead these teens that previously had no experience of murder or covering one up, have covered up the death. So after all that growth, they're now all criminals.
I'm watching season 2, but I'm kind of hoping they get caught now!
