I actually loved the way season one and two played out. There were so many twists and turns. Of course watching it on Netflix is very different then watching it week to week.
I agree, the fact Bullet didn't leave a name, made NO sense whatsoever.
I loved the season one ending too, so different from the norm and my thoughts were "Oh good, it's not over yet"

It would make sense if she didn't actually know the name and only had a description. I wouldn't expect the killer to give his full name to all the girls he picks up.

It sounds like she has a good idea who he is, she may not have been able to leave a name, but she should have left a lot more information to lead the police in finding him. It seems unlikely that Callie is alive, but Bullet wouldn't want him to have the chance to pick up another girl, and she knows Holder is leery of her tips right now.
Right now, it's just a minor annoyance, I'm willing to give some dramatic leeway, but if something serious happens to Bullet because of her leaving no information, it's probably going to turn into a bigger issue for me. Not that I expect the writers to be concerned about my opinion, but it sounds like I'm not alone in questioning this.
Well, this episode didn't make sense to me. If the mass murderer was Joe, a pedophile, why would he be the one cutting fingers off and taking rings? How many young girls wear rings? Doesn't make sense in a real world, but maybe in a fictional one?
And if the mass murderer was Joe and that mystery is solved, then fizzle, fizzle. So now the mystery is who killed Peter Skarsgaard's wife?
I'm confused. But anyway, Joel Kinneman is SUCH a good actor!

I can see Bullet not leaving the name of a serial killer on a cell phone, I sure wouldn't.
But the other thing, Bullet wanted Holder back. She had come to rely on him, needed him. She wanted to talk to Holder and know he had forgiven her, when Bullet gave her friendship, it was all the way. She needed to speak with Holder, she knew he would call if she didn't give the name.

If she wanted him to call her back she should have given him more information so her tip would seem credible, especially if she was in danger, she knew he felt betrayed by her lie about Lyric. That whole set up of someone desperately needing to get information to someone who won't answer is tired, and I expected better from this show, it took away from the emotional impact for me. BUT, it's possible that Angie lied to her, and someone with real power set this whole thing up, but Bullet didn't know, and trusted the wrong person when she could't reach Holder, or she could have been too afraid that he wouldn't believe her over the phone, then it would make more sense.
Angie was terrified, her fear of the person was intense, it seems like it's someone with real power who could get to her, not some lone cab driver everyone was looking for, and was hiding in a storage unit. A cop could have gotten to Angie and Adrian. The old partner had a bandage and spoke with Bullet, but that could be a red herring. The boss? The prison guards? I guess anyone working with him could have set this up.
Joe Mills as the killer was wrapped up way too neatly. The killer, who got away with murdering so many women for years leaves the body in his cab while he hides in his storage unit, keeping the deeply incriminating rings in a box with him? He also seems to have no history of violence, the girls he abused sexually think he's a nice guy, the one even seemed to love him. Killers tend to hurt people, even those they don't kill, yet Joe has a reputation as being nice guy with food, the girls like him, however twisted that may be. Maybe he was involved in the killings, but I have trouble buying him as a lone killer.
Also, why the heck didn't they find this storage unit right after the Callie cellphone incident? That made no sense.
This is all just speculation, we know there are two more episodes, so more is to come. I generally prefer to go along for the ride, but a few things seem suspicious right now.
So Holder goes to Reddick's house and beats the crap out of him, because Reddick didn't tell Holder Bullet was looking for him. Maybe he had a particular reason for not sharing that bit of info...because he went to meet Bullet himself? But then, I can't imagine Bullet giving her location to him if she was going to name him as the killer. Could he have planted the box of rings and the body in Joe's trunk? Not that I don't think Joe is shady too, he obviously is, but knowing this show and its love of the red herrings...
I'm also not sure what to think about the new twist with the prison guard's son shooting his mom's boyfriend. And I feel like something bad is due to happen to Lyric and/or Twitch now. How did Twitch find out so quickly that Bullet was dead? I've considered him as a suspect too, but I think it's more likely that there are several people involved. Lots to think about.

Didn't Bullet leave a voicemail on Holder's cellphone? I could have sworn we heard his voicemail come on, and her name showed up on his mobile. I didn't really understand why he considered it Reddick's fault.
Joe's a pedophile and was making child porn, he's bad news, but I'm not sure I buy him as the serial killer on his own, he may have helped the killer though, maybe that's why he had Callie's phone, or he could be involved with Callie's disappearance only. I think someone could be setting him up. Thinking about how careful this killer was to not get caught for years, I can't imagine the killer leaving the body in the trunk and keeping the rings on him. Reddick is suspicious with the phone calls, and bandage on his hand, but, like you said the show does love red herrings.
Twitch was acting very strange, I didn't really know what to make of that. Maybe he helped somehow, he might have even set up Bullet to encounter the killer. He also may have nothing to do with any of it. Who knows? I really have no idea whose involved, I just don't buy Joe Mills as the lone serial killer.
Obviously, Linden has something in her mind, and chose not to share it with Skinner, or any of the cops. I wonder what she sees in those unidentified rings. I'm intrigued.
Is it just me or is this show unrelentingly depressing? I still like it, but damn I almost feel emotionally tired from watching it.
