Yeah it's an interesting character study of a show. Fuches speech to Hank at the end really sums it most of it.

Nobody was honest about themselves. It was all about the perception they wanted to create and what they wanted to believe instead of actually doing the right thing or being honest about what they wanted and why they wanted it. That validation mattered more than anything else.

In a way it's a bit of a commentary about how audiences tend to idolize bad people if they can create a justification for it too. That the perception and the 'narrative' matters more than the truth and being honest about it.

The final scene being John is indeed such a great closing shot. Sally did overall seem to get her life back on track and he still seems like a good kid. But Sally still prioritizes the validation of an audience over her own son and he ends up seeking validation about his father from a shitty B-Movie.
