  1. The conversation between Westphall and Auschlander in the second to last scene is an example of the show's excellent writing. Two friends facing old age, one possibly looking at mortality soon. Seems like it could have been filmed in a real hospital room of a cancer patient. Never mind the whole meta-level at which the scene works because of the show itself constantly being on the verge of cancelation. What a way to end the season.

    And the final scene with Westphall reassuring Luther that the hospital likely lives to fight another day- having worked in public healthcare for my entire career, I know exactly what that's like. And I know what it's like to have a strong and caring but realistic leader like Westphall. Unfortunately, I also know what it's like when you don't. Which I think is what we see in the 6th season...
