Cheap ending to one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
You don’t go from cunning and cerebral as Franklin was to a dysfunctional person suffering from substance abuse. Dude did not drink, smoke, do drugs, or even cheat on his woman. That shyt was rushed and contrived.
As another poster said, better writing would have been to give a prelude to his alcoholism in prior seasons.
I wasn’t expecting him to ride off into sunset, because that typically isn’t the ending to those type of characters but it’s kind of an anticlimactic wrap up to his storyline.
Also Veronique would have never been able to get away with all that money on a business account without Franklin coming in in person and both parties signing off on it and then it would have had to been cleared by the bank which takes days sometimes weeks.
Bank ain’t just cutting you a check for 800K they putting all kinds holds on that money and you got to get signatures and copies of people’s IDs and everything. Again that’s rushed cheap writing.
Cissy’s character and how she started moving made no sense either. I understand why she killed Teddy, but it was the antithesis of what her character claimed to be about. A more fitting ending for her would have been her turning Fed witness if she felt so guilty about her son and Teddy poisoning the community.
Great show but they rushed that ending and those characters could have been fleshed out much more. Kinda amateur hour with that shyt to an otherwise phenomenally written show.

These comments show people haven't hit rock bottom (which is good). When you lost everything, it's a different type of hopelessness. You're bitter and cynical. You don't give a fukk about anything. You're talking to your loved ones like Frank talked to Cissy. Inside you're in a delirious state because you cannot believe your luck is that fukked up that this shyt is playing out like this. Alot of people can relate to that. Now imagine having $73 million and losing it. Then you add in the fact that he's killed multiple people, sold drugs, got his father killed, got his uncle killed, killed his best friend and got his mom imprisoned.
That's a ton of guilt. He knows if there's a Hell, he's going
I know people that went off the ledge for way less. It's not bad writing. People just upset their character didn't win.

Franklin built up his family only for them to tear him down.
His momma shot Teddy because she was more concerned with the bum that left her to be molested by a white dude and a single mother than her own son and grandson. Now she acting high and mighty.
Show is crazy accurate. Cissy was fine with the drug game and making money and helping her son, now she supposed to be godly acting like the money will make Franklin worse. Franklin would keep making more money because that is his addiction. His addiction is no different than a billionaires addiction to money.
His family were small-minded thinkers and couldn't see past their own egos.
Now he on the streets like Alton drinking because his momma thought that was best for him.
As for Veronique, I believe she did the right thing. Franklin fukked up putting his hands on her like that, and she shouldn't raise her kid around an abusive drunk. Veronique was Franklin's ride or die - even going as far to help facilitate the torture of an ex CIA operative. She was down for Franklin and likely came up with the plan to sell the Spring Street property once she learned Cissy fukked the money up.
Veronique is the only one to realize Franklin's potential and he pushed her away.

I pronounce us ready to eat. Amen.
When V’s mom asked her to leave Franklin after he killed Teddy’s dad, V said Franklin never raised a hand to her, always put her first, and until that changes, she’s not going anywhere.
He changed and she kept her word.

Damn, I forgot that nikka was fukking on Cissy and a racist. Franklin was happy as hell to sell that property back to him too, like it was to spite Cissy

He still had his money/enterprise which was the driving force behind him getting into all those situations.
Once he completely lost what he was really fighting for along with any hope of getting it back, something inside him snapped like it would for a lot of ppl
If thi was Power, Cissy would've killed Teddy...her and franklin would've make a clean escape she would just so happen to have some money stashed away. Franklin would've been pissed and then killed her because why would a mom ever lie.

I haven't read the comments but they make Frank look like a damn rock fiend going after those MMs. I mean I get the irony of it, but Meech ain't really flip out after losing his fortune along with a 20 year bid.
He still had legit businesses from the dope proceedings. They made that dude totally flip out like a junkie was looking for the last rock on Planet Earth.

Same.. didn’t think it end with Franklin being a damn bum
i don’t know if I hate it yet.. I’ll let it marinate 
And the crazy part is they don’t realize he actually did win. Being a strung out alcoholic is a better fate than damn near everyone else he came across.These comments show people haven't hit rock bottom (which is good).

For people who say it wasn’t a probable fate for Franklin, they’re ignoring that his rise was just as improbable. A regular kid with no real connections to anything became worth $73 million liquid and funded a secret war in the 80s. His rise was just as legendary as his fall.
Somewhat ironically, it’s a story none of those young boys in his neighborhood would ever believe if he told them. The same way most of us would’ve never believed he’d end up a homeless drunk. But both things happened.
Then we have to look at it for TV reasons. This is way more memorable than the typical dying in a shootout, or disappearing to an island with millions of dollars, or being locked up in prison. It’s the ending the show deserved.

Can anyone clarify why Louie was back at the horse stable. Were those two covering for her? I get how therapeutic it's to ride them things, but you had enough to buy all kind of horses. Them bytches cost like one rack a piece smh.
Didn't even have to get kidnapped at a spot you could've built up yourself. Why you going back to the spot they caught you slippin at in the first place? Just turn yoself in, out there cruising for a bruising on a gotdam horse. You know I sort of get it, 10 episodes vs 25 episodes in my day. Better writers and more source material to work with.

The amount of logical callbacks in this show is crazy, like the 12k from the safe at the end is the same amount that Saint paid for the first brick
I'm sure it was already mentioned but these writers are airtight with it.

There were clues in the earlier seasons that Franklin was going to be an alcoholic. Every time he was stressed or had something on his mind he would ask for or grab a drink of water.
I remember that look on Cissy's face when he started switching from water to soda(coca cola iirc). The flashback Alton scenes, Franklin followed his father's path step by step on a bigger darker scale.
