Hated Garrigan!
Couldn't they come up with a better protagonist? I mean, what an idiot - from the start, I hated him, from his silly "Whetever you land, that's where you'll go" immature exercise on his globe (I mean, yeah it sucks to live with stodgy parents, but it's not like he lived in poverty or had real struggles, he was an educated doctor for chrissakes), to his completely ignorant disregard of the Gillian Anderson character's marriage (I'm glad she turned him down, BTW!), to sleeping with that random girl on the bus, to seducing and sleeping with a mentally-unstable dictator's wife. Ugh. I understand the writers were trying to paint him as this semi-naive, ignorant young firebrand who gets more than he bargained for when he "befriends" Amin, but come on...I had zero sympathy for this character. And yet, at the end, he's the one that is set free while the far nobler and more interesting David Oyelowo character dies. Smh.
