Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers from the series finale ofKingdom.

The series finale revealed that Nate did indeed die from his gunshot wounds.

I didnt want his death to be cloaked in any kind of shame.

But thats not to say that Nates interaction with his father was all negative.

As hard as that is, I think its a very real thing.

When youre totally authentic, you’re able to be at peace a bit.

As Balasco puts it, in that moment, Nates finally calling [Alvey] out.

Nates always been more forgiving of Alvey than Jay but the truth is, that was self-preservation.

The aftermath of Nates death resulted in the shows most emotional hour, and, fittingly, its last.

I dont know that I wouldve ended it any other way, to be honest.
