Agreed…especially Abby and the cop’s subplot. Jeez, that was some bad writing.

In addition, Shorty’s demise was telegraphed weeks in advance (see post #14).

I thought Shorty was going to blow Ray’s son up at the same time that he killed himself.

Honestly, there were so many ridiculous plot points this season, I’m not sure I could actually choose an “especially”. you expect SOME “suspension of disbelief” in any story but when you gotta do it for everything it’s got going on . . .

Good call on shorty, though.

Just like they telegraphed when Cookie killed Marvin by Marvin telling Brigdet to lie down, they did the same thing when Shorty told Conor to wait in his grandfathers room.
