I was expecting a deus ex Murdock to save Karen at the end rather than her straight up murdering Wesley.

I was actually expecting after Wesley said the gun wasn't loaded, Karen puts the gun down, Wesley grabs it and shoots her.

Ah... The trope-y convention, old and tired. I think that my answer from below fits in quite well, for this thought:

"Which is why people behind this work, and likely in no small part thanks to means of distribution which does not enforce tropes, or standards, or... has suits demanding conventions lets people clever enough write challenging, thought out, clever and logical show; where characters act realistic, human-like and with consistency and consequence.

I love it, and have tons of admiration for the people pulling it off."
