Good, Honest, Snake Oil – This is the first bounty hunter’s mission. Arthur must receive a letter and meet Mary in Saint Denis. She draws parallels between the two because of how the former prime minister “gets away with so much by playing the buffoon”.Fatherhood and Other Dreams – One of the side missions in chapter 4. Horgan also cites the Republican party and Boris Johnson as a reference for JP’s character. John Paul doesn’t show a modicum of remorse for framing his neighbour as a paedophile or blaming his wife for the death of the cat he killed. While he thinks of himself as a “soldier against sin”, he rarely looks inward for criticism.

It’s always a shock, isn’t it?” said Horgan. “These men get away with what they get away with because it’s often happening behind closed doors – they’re not walking around with signs on their head exuding danger. Inspired by cult characters like Mad Men’s Don Draper and Big Little Lies’ Perry, JP looked too sexy to scare on the outside.

It’s certainly a masterful performance by Claes Bang, to whom credit must be given for crafting such a horrendous character. Not only did he drive irresponsibly fast to trigger the trauma of their parents’ death and end up in another accident, but he also refused to accept any responsibility and even claimed insurance from Bibi. But the worst is yet to come, it turns out, as JP is also responsible for Bibi’s (Sarah Greene) lost eye.
