This show definitely has an Existentialist bent.  Events are completely
random and, when you want the few good people to live, they end up dying.
But, like so many shows these days, everybody ends up being bad.  Which is
fine.  You end up evaluating the characters on their "least badness".

I like the scriptwriter's comment about bystanders.  Most people are
bystanders.  And, because of this core fact, it is a great argument
against large institutions, including the state and a central government,
which, despite nobody caring, always have a drive to maintain their own
power at the expense of destroying some people's lives.

I won't finish reading the article since it looks like it delves into
final season -- I don't want to ruin it.
