What was the point of the Hated in the Nation ending?

Sorry but life wasn't worth crap in the 19th century or the centuries before the19th century. Life was even more brutal with no laws that protected workers, children, or women. People died all the time and that was accepted as part of life. Unwanted babies were abandoned and orphans were taken to homes to be sexually molested, brutalized, and used for slave labor. The list goes on and on. If you were poor which most people were your life was one of nothing but exploitation.

Yes, that would've been a suitable ending.
I get that she was pissed at him, but I don't buy the tech savvy police officer turned secret agent off to settle a score by murder..
Cool soundtrack though, in the bar and as she follows him down the path, before the credits roll. -

On top of what everyone else has already said, I think faking her death allowed her to chase Garret without him anticipating it. If she had gone after him through official channels, Garret would have had an easier time evading her, as he was obviously able to evade all other attempts to catch him.

You're right. That's exactly why they faked the suicide and why she was able to get close to him.
Although I really feel, like op, that it really adds nothing to the story. I feel like it should've ended after him throwing the backpack. it's him getting rid of source code, and data, and gadgets. So in theory his project is over, bees will be changed with different encryption etc anyway, so that's pretty much the end. Those that shamed died, those that they trolled/abused also died. That's kind of it. It's powerful, it works, and there's not really anything that can done to undo. So this little scene of the fake death, the cop tracking him, and the implied assassination doesn't really do much. The show already showed the the general populace are quick to give death threats and troll. It already showed bees are going extinct. It already showed the the GCQH are going to run surveillance on everything, including commercial drones. The ending really adds very little.
Koalas are telepathic. Plus, they control the weather. -

I agree that the ending doesn't really add much; it's also at odds with the general tone of the series. Maybe they wanted to take the "your actions have consequences" to its ultimate conclusion and make sure Garret didn't escape his consequences. Or maybe someone up the production insisted on a somewhat happy ending.
