TLDR Life is messy and imperfect, so were our characters. Not everyone gets a happy ending. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices.
I saw lots of reviews bashing the finale for leaving things unresolved, but I don't think that's the case at all. Otis and Maeve aren't together, and that's ok. Sometimes you have to let the one you love go so they can flourish. She would have gotten bitter and resented him over time and he would have been eaten alive with guilt if she stayed. It showed a lot of emotional maturity.
As for the rest, Eric found a way to reconcile both parts of himself and will do amazing things. Aimee and Isaac will be great together, they complement each other in very interesting ways. Every kite needs a tether. Adam is accepting himself for who he is. Will he and the farm girl work out? Who knows, but he's on the right path and that's really all we needed. The same can be said for his father, he's getting the help he needed and becoming a better man. Ruby could have had a little more closure that she got, but it was never her story anyway. Cal had a good arc, as did Jackson and Viv. We don't really need to know about Maeve's brother. He seems to be in the same spiral their mom was in and it's a shame, but hopefully he did get help.
The characters we didn't see... well, it would have been nice for Jean and Jacoub to be together but it was a very big betrayal and I don't blame him. The rest, I didn't really miss that much.
