The ending is disappointing

The show is simple and clearly not original and based on something else.

In a lot of ways it was predictable. What I enjoyed the most was the acting, the moments of revenge, and the few bonds that were made.

The ending of the very last episode makes me so irritable. But I get it. It's a man who is torn between being a father and saving people from going through what he did, and chose the "honorable" role.

It's true, you never know when there will be good people, but you can't really stop someone from their addictions unless they want to stop themselves they will just go back. So having a savior complex will not really help nearly as much as he thinks it will. And he could instead focus on his kid. But I get it. He will be Jesus and save the world because he feels called to do so. Whoop de doo! Not sure if I'll watch the next 2 seasons. I was dreading watching this ever since it came out. And so I watched it to be able to say that I did, and to not be annoyed by all of the skits and posts people make about it. Now I get the hype. But the hype was brief. The Marble episode was the only one that really affected me. The rest was extremely predictable and lacking in depth.

But I get it, I really do. Humans lust for money, yeah I know. If you want to learn a lesson about life and greed, watch this show. But if you already know that it serves no purpose in the long run, you might not find this to be as meaningful.

Welp! That's pretty much all I have to say. Have a good day!
