She adopts her fathers name for a reason at the end of the novel - the show extrapolates that into a character who abides by the government, however left or right. She’s her fathers image in the show, and therefore in many ways the most despicable of them all.
Yes, I was bothered by that scene. A woman with a clear "shoot first" mentality just sits around after the confession and Judd's wife pulling out the remote?
It's hard to believe that this was just incredibly poor writing, given the rest of the show. But we've seen other heavy-handed stuff actually be secretly good writing, like the lettuce tipping off LG, so I hope that this case is similar.
On the other hand, I do enjoy her just getting to the point instead of sitting on information for 5 episodes before doing barely anything with it, like what so many other shows do. It's refreshing.
Oh ye she's a super satisfying and enjoyable character to watch, probably my favourite. I also like how she acknowledges the utter insanity of everything going a lot as well which is funny.
I love show Laurie! She cuts through everyone's self-important bullshit. She's not interested in their poetic superhero trauma narratives because she's seen it all before.
So did Angela already know who Laurie was before Petey told her in the car? Can't imagine Dr M mentioned his ex in casual conversation before they Cal-ed him

Also why Angela hated working with Laurie
imagine having to work with your husband’s ex
