So, what was everyone's motivation?

What the feck am I reading? Do you even?

Are you talking about the motivation to watch the show, or the premise of the show, which the latter is obvious?

I can see why this show has never been released on any form of home media because it really only told half a story in its first season.

There was so much left unresolved

I've just finished watching it for 2nd time, and I've been wondering about the same thing, what was the motive.

Truxton - I think his motivation is the same as the rest of Atlas McDowell, they are all in their 60s from vietnam war, cold war era. Although they have been blatantly earning money on world disasters thanks to API, in their minds they're probably also thinking that they are protecting American interests in everything from economy to nation.

Kale - I think his ambition is to take over API, legally.

Kale and Maggie - Kale isn't dependent on Maggie, he "owns" her, he brought her in to do his dirty job, it just so happens he's a kind enough to solve her issues. But I assume he's doing that so that she can stay focused on her tasks.
Tom - probably got sick of killing people and "fake excuses" for doing so.

Illuminati/Atlas McDowell - I am guessing they must have been really scared of what Will knew or whom he's passed on the information. I don't know why they didn't just try to kill him as well as they did Katherine... I guess he was just lucky that they decided to sever ties with Truxton instead.

Andy - it's hard to say. She could be either Tom's mistress, daughter, a friend or an employee. That could be one reason why she was at the apartment.
Another reason could be that she worked for AM and that they knew about the place and sent her there to snoop, queue in Katherine.
Unfortunately it was not explained, so she could be anybody.

That's a clown question bro.

They were trying to fool AMC and the American public.

This looks like Alias done right. It dont jump around so it is rather level headed throughout the entire season. It is just as interesting without all the Acton sequences but far easier to watch and dont have the downs like alias when the action drops off.

I think the basic motivation of all is power and money. A little friendship in there as well.

At least for the top dogs that is all that matters. Country comes in only as a crutch they can use to get what they want.

So Kale would be the manager, who wants to consolidate power into this group. Which would be the leaders of each group. Although why he would take an interest in Maggie is a good question, did he know her from before? Because we do know that people will bring in others who they have worked with before because the devil you know especially if you want them to do your bidding. And Maggie wanted a job..

Same with andy, who was there to protect.. So she kept an eye on Will, while waiting for Katherine to show up. I did wonder why she took such an interest in Will as she was making contact without overtly showing she was there watching him.

I dont think too much was unresolved. Truxton is gone anyway, he was targeted and his op was exposed. So was all the frameup. They could continue onto something else like Alias did or leave it like a mini series. It did have the potential for a lot more. Watching Alias was very frustrating unlike this one even if Will was pretty powerless in most respects. But it never let go off the main theme to bring down the cartel of wrongs.
