While this series is quite gripping, it simply stops in its tracks before the story ends. We've all seen series and movies with ambiguous endings - think of Limbo, the title of which should have warned us. And it can work. But this one literally resembles a car that ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere. Did they run out of money or ideas or did someone think that yanking the audience's chain in this way was acceptable? Well, it wasn't. I am serious about reviews. I try to write measured, thoughtful assessments of acting, character development, even production values. But the way this concluded simply made me want to warn people off being suckered into a show that mistreats its audience in this way. Read Jake Adelstein's book, perhaps, but don't waste your time on this.
