I saw this show recently. It was weird as hell because initially, for multiple episodes they showed him as a cool guy with a good cause, but then randomly made him a villain with no reasonable motivation or setup at all. I guess someone on the production team got nervous or ran out of ideas.

That's how all revolutionary figures are shown in liberal media. Usually, the go-to is to create a character with good intentions, a practical mindset for achieving change, and enough of a material base for an uprising, but have to character assassinate them by arbitrarily making them evil in some manner, jumping the shark.

It is extremely difficult to make a sympathetic, well-written revolutionary villian, because if the audience isn't reminded to hate them they will side with them.
