History Series / TooOldToDieYoung

** Martin gets the most screentime and development, and is played by the biggest star on the show, but he is [[spoiler: violently killed by Jesus at the end of episode 8]], which leads to perspective for the remaining two episodes shifting between Yaritza and Diana. [[spoiler: Given that the final episodes might be the beginning of some sort of apocalypse or cleansing of most or all of mankind, the day-to-day misdeeds and final fate of a single dirty cop seems almost comically irrelevant.]]

** Diana's is more subtle. In the final episode, she watches a TV program in which "Monkey Puppet" declares that sin has taken over the world and declares that he is the new god, which causes Diana to smile and laugh. In the end, she receives visions that the world will self-destruct, and that she will then declare a new age of innocence, apparently with herself as the goddess of the new world.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Given the show's recurring theme of modern fascism and the fact that Theo is a rich idiot with the hots for his daughter, he's probably the resident stand-in for Creator/DonaldTrump. 2019 was a banner year for Baldwins mocking the President on television.

** In spite of being a criminal kingpin who is usually surrounded by security, Damian sees fit to stand on side of the street while he and both of his bodyguards keep their eyes shut and groove to loud music. They're practically begging to be assassinated.

* FanDisservice: Even theoretical fan bait like Jesus strutting around his compound in a WalkingShirtlessScene and his fun time with the gorgeous Yaritza is undermined by the show alternating those scenes with Jesus [[spoiler: torturing Martin before chopping him to pieces]]. And there's the fact that they're both cold-blooded killers. And the Oedipus complex thing. The finale gives you Diana pleasuring herself and sitting poolside in a bikini, and she looks great, but it's right before she delivers a chilling monologue about human depravity. On the plus side, if you have a fetish for long pauses between lines of dialog, you're golden.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: Janey is casually and abruptly shot in the face while walking on the beach.
Martin's death is far too intense and drawn-out to count as mundane, but many viewers probably expected some sort of rescue attempt or PlotTwist because he's the theoretical protagonist. But no, he gets beaten for three days and killed off just as he's told he'll be, without a single hope of escape, and the show moves on and evolves without him.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Generally averted given how grim the show is. Even theoretical fan bait like Jesus strutting around his compound in a WalkingShirtlessScene and his fun time with the gorgeous Yaritza is undermined by the show alternating those scenes with Jesus [[spoiler: torturing Martin before chopping him to pieces]]. And there's the fact that they're both cold-blooded killers. And the OedipusComplex thing. The finale gives you Diana pleasuring herself and sitting poolside in a bikini, and she looks great, but it's right before she delivers a chilling monologue about human depravity. On the plus side, if you have a fetish for long pauses between lines of dialog, you're golden.

* OedipusComplex: Jesus is strongly hinted to have one early on, with his frequent and sexually charged memories of his mother. In the later episodes, [[spoiler:he takes to viewing Yaritza as his mother's reincarnation while having sex with her]].

* WhipOfDominance: [[spoiler: Jesus brings the whip he uses on Martin into the bedroom with Yaritza. He brings it FOR her, though, and submits to her to be choked and sodomized with it in a mash-up of S&M and Jesus' raging OedipusComplex.]]
