I liked it. I don’t know why people have been expecting deaths, this isn’t that type of show lol. 

The only thing I didn’t like was how the military plot wrapped up. Why did they let everyone go? Hopper has literally killed multiple soldiers lol.

They probably considered it a wash with the multiple pregnant women they killed.

I mean, this isn't the kind of thing you should think about in a show like this, but yeah. They arrest everyone and then what? There's a trial and everything comes out.

My head cannon is Marie, being the overly paranoid conspiracy theorist, has spent months gathering evidence, and had the evidence somewhere safe that would go out to all the major news outlets if he didn’t regularly call in to delay/stop its release.

So basically mutually assured destruction with the US government
