You can spoiler it, but which part?
Spoiler: show
The final shot with the cat was great, but the ending itself was just miserable. Nas's relationship with his mother is forever destroyed. He's an addict. His female lawyer lost her career. Turturro is back to doing shit lawyer jobs. The detective in retirement is basically waiting to die. It was all very realistic, I guess, but I wasn't entertained. I was just bummed out.
Yep. I loved it.

DVR'd it for tonight; let's see if I can make it through the day without looking through this thread.

I caught up on this yesterday so I could watch the finale and cancel HBO. I liked the ending, even the feet thing stopped pissing me off towards the last couple episodes. All and all a pretty good watch.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Don't apologize. If you don't want to know what's happened on a show you shouldn't open the thread about that show.

Oh it's settled, some people just refuse to accept it. You did nothing wrong, spike.

Free spike! It wasn't him, it was his step dad or the undertaker or the black dude on the street or I guess it was the financial advisor.

Did you not like that it was the financial adviser? I was good with it. I liked that it wasn't one of the three other suspects that were presented as alternatives, but still wasn't Naz. And I liked that they were able to figure out who it was, because it shows how the police/prosecution mishandled the case from the beginning. Because they convinced themselves it had to be Naz, they didn't really bother investigating further, and if they had it would have led them to the real guy, like it eventually did when Box finally did the right thing.

At the very end, when Naz was smoking crack under the bridge and they kept showing quick flashbacks to the night of the murder, I was sure they'd show a quick shot of him stabbing her

I watched the first couple, but then I didn't catch up until yesterday. In that time in between, I avoided this thread, because that's how it's fucking done.
