Hated how the 4 kids' stories ended. Namond was the shittiest one & the worst actor, and he gets the happy ending.

I felt this way the first time I watched season 4 but I felt much differently the second time around. Namond survives and gets out of the game because of two reasons. One, just the luck of meeting Bunny. Two, because he isn't "hard" meaning he doesn't have it in him to physically assault and kill people as required in the game. The latter characteristic is a virtue. Although I wanted all four of them to get out, I think you are being too hard on Namond and should just take the little bit of positive outcomes that the show provides.
