i hope we get another series though

Because

Spoiler:

He wanted to take all of the blame and her to be found totally innocent, and he looks more guilty if he runs off with a gun. It's also kind of implied that he knew he would be shot / wanted to be shot as that makes it all "open and shut".

But yeah, realistically there's no way they'd shoot a fleeing suspect in the back, even an armed one, unless he shot at them first. Bit of a plot hole there...

Other than that I loved it though. But they better not make a season 2... It would ruin it. It's a self contained, and complete, story... It would be like making a sequel to a black mirror episode.
