The End Justifies the Means. Does it? The show has been carefully crafted to make the actions and motivations of the two main characters morally ambiguous. Both do reprehensible things based on their belief systems, but one is also extraordinarily generous, motivated by guilt, “donor power”, and looking after one’s own, and the other is fighting for justice, motivated by ego, ambition, and jealousy. One is self-made, the other born to privilege. The confrontation in the final episode lays out their two world views, extreme positions that ask the viewer to choose, but there are too many shades of grey. This series is better written than expected, mostly avoids clichés, and contains some surprising twists.
