And, the man himself couldn't be happier with how the audience has responded.
"It’s a thrill. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much response, even with The Stranger or Stay Close, Safe – this much of the population just embracing the show," he told The Radio Times.
"It’s been kind of a marvel to watch, and yeah, the ending, I love that people are getting caught up in that.
"When I wrote the book, I remember when I came up with the idea of the ending, I was like, 'That’s really twisted, can I pull that off?' and I think we did - I think for the show, we did. I’m really happy with it."
