"Oh noooo!"
And so it ends, as any good melodrama should, with a proper full-on confrontation between Maya and the Burketts, in which- of course- she is shot and killed. As we established last episode, protagonist she may be, but she's a war criminal. Karma demands she die. But she dies for a purpose, with the livestream and killing livestreamed by Corey. It's a neat way to end.
There's a lot of non-linear filling in of gaps, as we flash back to Joe's mudder of Claire, Maya's killing of Joe, the revelations that Joe murdered... well, everybody else who has died during the course of the series.And Kierce, no longer a cop, gets his own revenge, of sorts, by letting Maya go and confront the Burketts.
I'm not sure what purpose the coda accomplishes, other than to establish that Kierce in fact goes on to survive for many years. There's the full circle thing of Lily's baby being called Maya but, well, that's a bit superficial. Still, all in all, this is a highly satisfactory end to a highly satisfactory melodrama.
