Season 2 was going much better than Season 1. The writers had sharpened up and were using much less absurd coincidences and implausible plot twists.
The addition of one-note Rosie Perez was a big mistake, but otherwise the cast was solid or outstanding.
Then came this abominable season-possibly series-finale. Let me dissect it like a frog on a lab station. The first big writers fantasy, lazily contrived, is when Michael (Brian Cranston), on the stand, exceeds the scope of the question in his response on direct by the DA. Opposing counsel for the defense, the supremely arrogant, Lee (Carmen Ejogo), starts to ask impermissible questions. "Objection!" "No the witness opened the door," she says. "Allowed," said the judge. Nonsense, says I. The answer exceeded the scope of the question and was strickened from the record. It opened NO doors.
Worse yet, the murder Eugene (Benjamin Flores) committed was a STATE crime. He was charged and on trial by the State of Louisiana. The federal government has NO jurisdiction. Zero. Nada. They cannot swoop in and "take the case away" from the New Orleans DA, and give Eugene immunity under ANY circumstances!
Finally, we are supposed to feel remorse and forgiveness for Eugene who killed an innocent person in premeditated cold blood. Hollywood Liberal insanity! 'OOOPS sorry about that murder, but I had a tough up-bringing. Ok, son, you're free to go. We'll lock up the guy (Michael) who actually kept his word, instead.
