the thing is the writing is not shytty, inexplicable, unrealistic, over-exaggerated scenarios is something that one could complain about across the board on every great show. why didnt they catch this, why didnt this guy die here, people dont even realize sometimes those kind of mistakes are purposely made in writing scripts for several reasons, 1, they are not ready to rid of a certain character because of public demand, hate them or love them, the public tunes in when that person is on the screen, or 2. it gets people talking and the social media buzz going crazy.
we can nit pick at every show presumed to be classic,
like really how many times did walter white escaped death, from fuco, gus, even that white militia group, really they will take his money, leave him a barrel and spare him after literally killing his brother who was a dea agent right in front of him?
gus should have killed walt after he ran his boys over, fuco was known to kill people just for the hell of it but let walt and jesse breathe after they clearly betrayed him, how about hank surviving that hit by the 2 brothers, its so many things you could pick at with breaking bad
how about nucky thompson literally have a town ready to kill him and him escaping by hiding out with some negroes and chalky standing tall and turning these white dudes away, in a time the early 1900s where whole black towns were burned down simply because a black man was said to have whistled at a white woman, but somehow they let this negro tell them to keep it pushing without searching the premises?
lets go to the wire, really a homo shot gun totting stick up kid is still living in season 5 and gets taken out randomly by some kid in a bodega? marlo escapes prison time and doesnt get killed after all those bodies he put in them vacants? how about omar using a damn plush ass coach as body armor with a room full of shooters and not even getting nicked by a bullet?
i mean we could do this all day, the writing is great, it has flaws like every show does but without the flaws and every single thing making sense and being perfect you remove the suspense and intrigue for the show as everything will just go along as everyone thinks it should.
also, every show is not built on wow, gotcha moments and dont need them to be great, everyone knew eventually gus was going to get taken down, the attractive part of the show is just witnessing how it will happen, everyone knew eventually marlo was going to go down, everyone was just tuning in to see how it played out. we all know kanan and ghost will clash, that angela will be put in deep shyt and how ghost and tommy will eventually overcome the serbs, we tune in to see how it plays out. some people are just never satisfied and need something to complain about. you cant make characters perfect, and do everything perfect, its the discussions of what they should have done and why that person is smart or stupid that keeps people tuning in.
