* AccidentalDownerEnding: The series ended this way with season 2 -- Bill Tench having come home from Atlanta only to discover his wife and their adopted child have moved away and left him alone. Holden Ford carrying the burden of futility for being unable to pin the 27 murders on their prime suspect. The series arch serial killer, BTK, still out there only getting more disturbing with each glimpse of him. While true that some elements of the story are a ForegoneConclusion, the {{Fandom}}, was left wondering about the ArtisticLicense the creators have taken with the characters. Since 2020, the show has been teased for a potential 3rd season, it just hasn't materialized. Even Creator/DavidFincher while acknowledging the series' critical acclaim has also remarked on Netflix's struggle to keep a movie quality series going. He did say "Maybe in five years" back in 2020, so who knows...

** There were originally plans for a third season, with David Fincher stating the show was just going on hiatus after Season 2 (due to Fincher experiencing burnout and wanting to focus on other projects). However, in February 2023 Fincher announced that Netflix had decided to permanently end the show, so a third season will never be made; Fincher stated that Netflix felt the show didn't draw in enough viewers to justify the high production costs.

A fitting song in of itself, but gets even better if you know the song's synth line is famously sampled in another song... Basement Jaxx's [[{{Sanity Slippage}} 'Where's Your Head At?"]].
