Richard

[ChristianP96 · 7/10 · 5 July 2022]

Might have been more impactful if Richard was around longer. I liked him but he didn't get enough time to develop.

This is like the third time Helen has assassinated someone. I wasn't even sure if it was the right guy because the mother was different. Actually I'm still not convinced they had the right guy.

That 150 years stinger from the judge was hilarious.

Poor Rebecca. Was this her first guilty murder client? Might have been her first murder client in general. I appreciate the continuity this show has kept with her behind the scenes. You could see her gradually making her way up from co-chairing to taking on product liability cases, etc. And now murder.

I realised during this episode that we never found out for sure if Rebecca is a Jehovah's Witness. Based on the large amount of evidence to the contrary, I'm going to assume she's not.

Helen, Brilliant and Toxic

I believe that Lara Flynn Boyle could cut through steel with her piercing stare. Once Richard is killed, the gloves come off and she does everything, including the most unethical acts to avenge him. Her greatest victory is what she gets him to say in anger. Meanwhile a man who has strangled other wives but gotten off on lack of evidence plus a juvenile record of killing children has done it again. His life depends on some tenuous time issues. Finally, we have Richard's funeral which puts a final dot on the fifth season.
