1. What a shitshow, eh?
When the show suddenly killed off its antagonist and totally changed gears with a handful of episodes still to go, there was at least some sense that an interesting narrative was being constructed. But after that finale, which saw the murder of Audrey by one of Chang's snipers and some subsequent crazy-ass retaliation from Jack, I'm pretty sure said narrative was that the writers got super drunk, said "to hell with it", and went nuts throwing in as much gunfire and bloodshed into their scripts as the network would allow.
