I greatly enjoyed the conclusion of Perfume. I think it must be super challenging to create a satisfying 'whodunnit' that is pitched somewhere between too obvious and too arbitrary. Where they landed worked well enough for me considering how compelling the story was along the way. Irish's criticisms are fair: most of these characters are miserable bastards. However, I feel like the series is anchored by Nadja's journey, a haunting portrait of deep vulnerability masked by a tough exterior, and an endpoint that successfully calls to mind the source material without directly replicating it.
