Brilliant

The writing is brilliant for this show. Some may say it's predictable, I don't believe so, but regardless the performances of the cast is powerful nonetheless. I love this show.

So many of the character arcs surprise me (but make sense) and how the storylines intertwine is brilliant and makes me realize how poorly I keep track in my own head.

Each episode this season has escalated with each episode, one-episode feels like two because so much is going on, but you're still able to follow. I've become attached to each of the characters for different reasons.

If you hate someone on the show? You REALLY hate them lol.

It's just a show, Right?

Watching this episode definitely took me through the wringer. I feel like Tommy should know that Vic is playing him. Leon dying was definitely expected, I saw that coming. I don't know why the police let his mom get that close to him. This was not a close crime scene or close to being realistic. Regardless of Diamonds involvement, the kid already had enemies that's why diamond wanted him to learn how to fight. The show has been pretty good this season other than small bits and pieces.

I would also like to mention how the Mom knew who diamond was and still chose to sleep with him, and then decided to bring up how she doesn't want him around her son. If you knew what type of person he was, that means you used him to get what you needed, whether that's companion or a role model for a little time being.

Writing starting to get poor

Theres a lot of problems that I notice but this episode really makes me consider abandoning this show. In the final scene Diamond is messed up over his girl's kid being killed. He's drunk and spreads a bag of dope around him and dumps a bag of money all over himself. This in itself is idiotic, even given the fact he's mentally conflicted + drunk but it is still ridiculous for the following reasons: #1 His place of business is a zero tolerance location for any drugs/business contraband. It's PUBLIC! Anyone can walk in. Thats where his PO visits him, FFS! So the zero tolerance law is that NO BUSINESS goes down there, at least no evidentiary materials can be at location.

#2 Doesn't even lock the door??! He doesn't have the presence of mind to lock the door with a ticket to a long prison sentence spread out around him at HIS BUSINESS when he's alone??!

#3 Lets just say points #1 & #2 are invalid because he's having a melt down over the kid? This still would not excuse Tommy Egan showing up, reading the sit. Having time to LOCK THE F'ing door and get the loot out of sight. Tommy is on top of his game and should be street smart enough to do damage control.

SO, I feel the writing is predictable. I saw that coming a mile away like everyone else - spoiler alert...

Diamond's PO bursts into the store, sees all the loot and is killed by Diamond! Such lazy silly implausible writing by script writers that are about as street as my little sister. This just exposed how lazy, naive and out of touch with criminal life the script writers are.
