Even savages have families and have the ability to love - they are humans, like us, after all. And because they are human, they are capable of doing good, but are also capable of doing evil. The show does really well in making viewers question the traditional spectrum of right and wrong, especially in parts where we see Pablo doing very human things, like being a husband, father, and provider. What potentially can freak people out is the fact that, while Pablo was an extreme mass murderer, there were times he was also a very sympathetic and relatable figure. His longing for a home and his family, for example, were all emotions that viewers could easily relate to. His time at his father's farm, as well, showed a very human vulnerability that completely shed his aura of invincibility. Pablo's death was undoubtedly deserved. But you can't help but think at the end of it all that, "damn, Pablo was human too".
