This was a great show if for nothing other than the wonderful performances we saw from just about everyone. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney were spectacular, and Julia Garner practically stole the show. By the end, I despised Wendy Byrde, and it didn't seem fair to me that she wasn't going to get punished for dragging all of them back into it when they had been so close to getting out. Her naked ambition was utterly grotesque, and attempts to soften her by offering mitigation for the monster she had become fell short IMO. When Ruth calls her "soulless" to her face, I'm on my couch going "right on, right on!"
In the end though, the bad guys and the government are interchangeable. The little guys get squashed, some deservedly, others less so, but squashed nonetheless. Cynical? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. The moral of the story appears to be in one of Wendy's last lines, "Money doesn't know where it came from".
