"You can't act for ****, Frank". That made me laugh.


I thought it was pretty good. Ray's death was heartbreaking, but Frank's was uniquely done and interesting (although I had to go back and remember who the Mexicans were).

I do think they did a great job once frank had been stabbed. Very unique and well done.

But him getting kidnapped by the Mexicans and stabbed over a suit was awful.

This. I'm also going to hold onto the idea that the baby with Jordan was VV's....makes me feel a little better about the ending.

The baby is CF's by way of sexing RM.

Its RM's baby- which is why she refers to "Ray's sons" plural.

bam.

Blue star for you, sir.

could he have even made it out of the desert alive by just walking? At that point, he may have been just trying to take someone out, realizing he was already a goner.

NIce to know we finally found out how Nails got his name.

Did not like the mexican gangster storyline either. If you're gonna kill Frank do it some other way, not by some small side story. That's my main gripe. Overall, liked it but not as much as season 1. Looking forward to next summer.

It actually makes since, being that they would be the only criminal power left in Vinci aside from the government/police.

I'm surprised to see the negative feedback.

I thought the finale was ok, but I've been down on most of the season. I agree with most of the critiques, but at least it had a coherent storyline.

My biggest lol moment in this episode was when the cops blasted the Vinci chief because he was the victim of a stabbing.

Inviting drug lords to your swearing in ceremony as mayor, to be photographed with them by all the press at the ceremony?

Bloodbath. No one survives. Perfect show for it cuz none of the characters are kept season to season.

Only the bird man lives and we find out who that was. Michael Keaton in disguise.

---

I was pretty much spot on there....if I was serious I might have guessed RM survived.

but nailed the bloodbath.

that entire season was pretty much garbage other than Colin farrell's acting in first 8 episodes and Vince Vaughn's walk of death. Episode 9 was actually decent but the way the followed it up with that bull **** finale basically negates any positives of episode 9.

Don't really want to spend any more time commenting it on then I have already wasted watching and posting about it.

Edit
Yeah, my bad. Thought there was 10 episodes, so meant farrell's acting in first 6 and then the 7th episode as the decent one.

Also to clarify regarding Frank's death, I didn't mean him actually getting stabbed by Mexican dude over a suit (although why they were about to let him live because he "gave" them $1mil when they could have just taken it made absolutely no ****ing sense, and the fact that frank the "survivor" career criminal didn't have any better sense then to bargain with them over something they would have needed to let him live and take him back to city for - I.e. look guys in addition to the 1 mil take me back to the city and I can get you xyz, also really bothered me), but I'm talking about where he walked past all his demons then found his wife who told him he already died. That was pretty good but would have been a little more heartbreaking if he would have been close to a road or something when he was talking to his wife so the viewer actually thought there was a chance that tough son of a ***** was gonna make it, then bam, "you died 500 feet ago."

Also, with the Mexicans, were they in with the Chessani boy? The leader was at his swearing in which would indicate a connection and they killed the pawn shop girl, and that would make more sense why they would know to off Frank when they did, but if so, why the **** would they have given the pawn shop girl to Frank in the first place?

And I completely agree with the complaints. Like Danny said, it's simply too complex to fill in 8.5 hours and it suffered the whole year because of that. But I checked my criticisms at the door and appreciated the good parts and the ride. Probably helps that this played in the summer as well.

There were only 8 episodes. But I get your point. 1 great episode. Some great stuff by CF at various points. VV had some redemption the last couple of episodes. But overall it missed its mark.

The Mexicans were going to kill him regardless, he was sold out by the Armenians "who do you think was supplying us?"

like season one, we find out who the bad guys are and get them, but not the whole web of bad guys...

I enjoyed this season, but this last episode stunk, in my opinion.

.

So I guess those super important papers that woodrugh pulled out of the orgy house didn't end up meaning **** after all?

Also, why did Ray buy his son voice message recorders they could use if he knew how to send voice messages on his smart phone? Did he just have a lot of money to blow on useless gadgets?

Also the detective work that Ray did to get from the jewelry store sister to the brother being the film set photographer, was nothing short of amazing. Ages are pretty close. Bingo. Mysetery solved. True detective.

Oh and what's with that kid going from super detective able to piece together his parents murder, then pull off an unsolvable torture/murder of corrupt city official, getting the jump on Ray with non lethal rounds, and outwitting the true detectives by burning the murder car and escaping to coming up with the worst scheme ever arranging a swap of deleted hard drive for fake diamonds in a public place only to show up with a butcher knife in a paper bag where her was lying in wait crouched behind a corner?

And about that scene, excellent police work by those 3 cops that came in guns blazing to not only not recognize public enemy #1 when he walked in the station (although a cowboy hat is a DAMN good disguise) but then they manage to stop a knife attack by not only blasting away the attacker but the "victim" as well.
