This series seems to just get better and better
Spoiler: show
That whole scene with the drugs was really disturbing however - knowing where they came from - where they then went and the whole extraction

that stuff is a given. More disturbing was the DA swinging the state pathologist for case against Nas.

Has anyone kept an eye on the opening credits? Is it me or are they changing from episode to episode? There were E tabs and other stuff I'd never seen before or don't remember seeing before.

Normally in these types of shows the accused is found innocent. Assuming that happens Naz is will be a different person going forward. He wasn't a criminal going into the judicial system but he may very well be one coming out.

If he makes it out.

We have 3 episodes left. I can see him pissing off Freddie before that point and the trial not happening. He's already abusing his new 'powers'. Or some version of that.

I guess the interesting take this show might have is that Naz is now a criminal because he is doing time in jail.

It is, and I'm totally fine with that. It defies my expectations every week while still being totally believable and engaging. Love it. Example: I never really expected the hearse driver to be a suspect, and when they started spinning it that way I sort of said, "Aw, man..." But then they made him a weird MRA and made the stepfather a just as believable suspect 10 minutes later. If I was painting an ending for the series, Naz is either convicted or released based on a fair and balanced trial (which doesn't look good so far) and we never get real closure on the killer. That'd be bold for a series like this (individual episodes of other programs have left their conclusions ambiguous, but never something as drawn out), so I'm on board.

Yeah I'm thinking Naz is going to be found guilty and we'll have other plausible scenarios and won't really know. Which is cool.

I'm finding Naz's actions in prison to be more and more unbelievable. I get that he's adapting, and doing what he needs to do, but getting SIN tattooed on your fingers? He's smart enough to know that won't make him look innocent.

I feel like that was out of order, almost--I could see him doing that after he started smoking with Freddie, but not before. It doesn't match up with the sort of mistakes he's making.
