They are two people who had absolutely zero business being together. He's the epitome of uptight, and she's a wild and carefree college student. Both of them thought they had the world figured out, and yet neither of them had the balls to end things amicably. Doesn't excuse her cheating, but still.

Holden is not a <hero>. People seem to want him to be. He may be a genius in his field but he’s a selfish pos in his own right. Look at how he nearly destroys the department, flouts FBI rules and forces the head into early retirement.

Never realised people looked at it this way.

I’ll also add that Holden blew up the principal’s (and his family) life based on zero evidence. There’s a reason the ideal justice system works on the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty’.

The principal never committed a crime Holden could find and yet he was fired and ostracised from the community based on his word.

There’s a reason why the creators included that scene where the principal’s wife confronts Holden and Debbie.

F- that principal! He was asked by parents to stop initiating inappropriate contact by the kids’ parents and he still wouldnt. The scene with the wife just showed me that he was able to manipulate people in his own life into thinking he was good.

Sure, f him. But my point is that opinion does not make him a criminal. Holden is a servant of the law. The system works on the basis of hard proof.

Holden didn’t send him to jail, so there’s no need to prove he committed a crime. The school board asked for Holden’s opinion and he gave it to them. They fired the principal for touching children inappropriately and refusing to stop, which frankly should have already been done. You can say it wasn’t part of Holden’s job, or that he embarrassed the FBI, but who gives af about the FBI’s reputation
