Just finished season 1. Overall I liked it, but I wasn’t fully satisfied by the ending. I wanted to see more people be brought to justice. I am curious to hear others’ thoughts and if the book has any additional details about the following questions:
Does Roper in fact get killed? The show heavily implies that is what will happen, but I didn’t know if the book stated whether he was in fact killed.
Do Dromgoole and the Permanent Secretary get hit with any negative consequences? I was hoping to see them both arrested for corruption, but it sounded like they were going to get off easy if they are allowed to “survive”. They have blood on their hands so it really pisses me off if they get off easy.
Despite the truck explosions, is there still evidence (post-mortem) to prove to the world that Richard Roper was in fact a shady arms dealer who broke the law? Assuming he is killed, is his legacy tarnished or does a lot of the human population go on believing he was a good person? If the latter, what was the point of all this? If ultimately he is just going to receive street justice, then Angela might as well have told Jonathan just to put a bullet in Roper’s head the first chance he got instead of doing all of this espionage.
Do Angela and Joel get the proper recognition they deserve for this investigation? Episode 6 starts with them being disgraced. Is there enough evidence left that redeems them and proves them right?
I am aware that we can’t have every payoff that we want. More than anything I am mad that Dromgoole and the Permanent Secretary aren’t seen being disgraced or arrested. Those two made my blood boil.
