Good production values and acting but loads of terrible writing in this especially in basic plot and character motivations and the dimensionality of the characters.
Without dropping hopefully any spoilers:
1. Most female characters are literal whores and completely useless, most male characters are white-knights, and this is basically all the definition that's offered for them
2. Why not just kill the bad guy at first opportunity when the "good guys" point a gun at him?
3. Why go after him at all? Of all the people involved in the war-weapons industry (manufacturers, purchasers/governments, soldiers, generals) the middle-man is the least destructive and most interchangeable/random party.
It's like they couldn't find any private/capitalist interest in war (surprise, surprise, considering war is the opposite of trade) so they invented one to go after. In reality weapons are made under government contract and tight regulation and dropped into war zones for "moderate rebels" to use against a particular state's enemies. Those weapons then find their way into the hands of the state's enemies then suddenly there's a pretext for invasion and further war, hence the perpetual war we see today.
