The series, quietly demonstrating that there is no difference between those who commit evil and those who hide it with good intentions, stages an outrageous, soulless and brutal finale that pretends to turn the tables. but where there is a difference between good and bad, in a world that doesn’t really want to save itselfIt’s not that clear anymore.
