That’s what I was thinking, the entire thing was some AI super hack attack. I mean everything they were looking at was on a screen, and we pretty much know anything on a screen can be pretty well faked given the right information. The fake nuke is a good ploy too, a lot easier than the electronic fake I bet, and once again, how would you know?
So I’m absolutely in the camp of let it hit the ground first and see what’s what first. Nothing you can do for Chicago if real, and for sure those minutes do nothing to dampen our counter attack. And ii would take it even further, no counter until you know “for sure” who sent it, or there are more incoming from a known origin..Just seems to easy for a bad character to start WWIII, are we that vulnerable?
I actually liked the ending. We see the final minutes leading up until essentially the end of the world as we know it. That’s what happens. No matter what, never the same. That’s the point.
Harris was fantastic in both. He is one of those underrated actors who instantly draws me in. If he’s in it, there’s a good chance I’m going to enjoy the show.
I laughed pretty hard at your comment about his demise in both and not being able to catch a break. He needs to be careful to not be typecast as “man who dies at end of nuclear dramas”.
