The outcome might allude to a believable, real-life flawed hero, but nothing about the show suggests that flawed hero was G & K’s intention.
...The central characters acknowledging their egotism & criminal/immoral behavior would require more than a different type of storyline. It would require a different type of show - one driven by the characters’ journey and growth instead of standalone WoW stories and a string of ‘cool’ action scenes overstuffed into a finale.
...But watching the final season without personal expectations and simply enjoying how much my sister enjoys the show was a much better experience. Although there were still a lot of eye rolls and “good grief” was mumbled throughout the episodes.
Hear! hear!
