DMZ Ending Explained (In Detail)
Warning: the following contains SPOILERS for DMZ.
The ending of DMZ sees the denizens of the war zone retaining their independence from any foreign entities, and Alma, better known as Zee, becoming the first governor of the city. HBO Max's DMZ is just one of the many new TV shows adapted from DC comics. However, unlike superhero shows such as Flash or Peacemaker, HBO Max's DMZ is based on a comic book of the same name published by Vertigo Comics, a DC imprint that's focused on mature tales that deeply examine the flaws and potential of humanity. While the DMZ series is very loosely based on the original DC/Vertigo comic book, it does manage to preserve the source material's overarching themes and social commentary. Indeed, the ending of DMZ is about second chances, finding hope amid seemingly insurmountable challenges, and the sovereignty of a nation created through the Second American Civil War. While DMZ is set in the dystopian future, it is a compellingly realistic interpretation of American history and political evolution.
DMZ season 1 ends with Zee winning the first gubernatorial race and the women leaders of Manhattan standing behind their new governor. After Parco Delgado fails to use kids to bomb the FSA's access to Manhattan and allow the U.S. to invade the DMZ, Parco ends up in the custody of the U.S. military. Meanwhile, Zee and Parco's son, Christian, also known as Skel, has been given a second chance to start anew outside of the DMZ, accompanied by his love interest, Wilson's former ward, Tenny.
