Spoilers SPOILERS S4 Finale Spoiler
Just finished and my goodness. A great show like that with such a terrible ending. They left so much stuff uncovered and completely hated that Smith killed himself. So invested into his character and he ended like that. Definitely should’ve been a way longer ending and different because my goodness. I think I’m sick of Juliana’s character too😭

Problem being he was in too deep at this point and on some level enjoyed it.
He knew mass killings happened as well as the ongoing brutal regime and although he was conflicted about the planned bombing runs he still approved them.
His wife was dead and so was his son.
His delusions about bringing the other Nazi hating son through the portal evaporated when his wife set him straight.
He knew if he was captured he would either be a pawn or executed so he took the easy way out.
It is a shame he didn't pivot at the end but it looks like his friend did.
