It was a good finale to a good season. The issues I have is that this season, more than the previous 2, was uneven and some of the logic was faulty, which represented itself BIG TIME in the finale...
-Greg allowing himself to be killed by Sandavol gotta be top 5 dumbest deaths of ALL fukkING TIME. It's not even like they pulled the "he figures it out two seconds before he's murked" trope out for this one. Greg had a full five minutes to piece together that Sandavol was the leak and instead of just going with the "Angela is the leak" angle decided to play his cards RIGHT then and there and then had the NERVE to tell this muthafukka "I gotta take you in"
. Nobody is THAT goddamn stupid. The writing was lazy as all hell with that sequence.
-If Angela knows anything about Jamie/Ghost it's that he doesn't make rash decisions. Murdering Greg on some bullshyt crime of passion makes ZERO sense. What reason would Jamie have to kill Greg when he knew Greg didn't really have anything on either him or Angela? Cause of some p*ssy? That's not how Jamie operates, he didn't even kill Sean when Sean had a gun to his head and told him he was fukking Tasha. I understand that the fingerprints point to one thing, but Angela didn't think this through whatsoever, and the storyline didn't do a very good job of making it seem as if Angela cared enough about Greg to be THAT devastated over his death. She was basically fukking him just to spy on him.
-Milan went out with a whimper when the storyline set it up for it to be a bang. This guy wasn't very smart at all in the end was he? He trusted Tommy, who just two episodes earlier he was beating the living shyt out of, to murk Ghost?
To completely turn heel and join the Serbian gang over a dude he's spent a lifetime building an empire with? Again, it would have been more believable if they would've just straight up made Milan a racist who underestimated Ghost because he was a ****** and played up that Tommy was white, so he was "better". At ,east that would've made the way it all went down more believable.
-50 Cent goes from a psycho who murdered an old woman in cold blood to smiling like a proud dad, watching his only son (Tariq) that made it. He actually had to be coerced into using his arch enemy's son for profit? He needed dyke police cousin to remind him what the mission was?
-Tommy thinking he had the juice to force Ghost to move weight in his clubs? That might be the ONE thing that pushes Ghost to murk Tommy. Ghost wants out more than anything, ain't no WAY he's going to allow Tommy boy to move drugs in his club..
Despite my issues with the finale, I think the series itself can be redeemed with stronger writing. All the actors are top notch, the premise still has legs, and everyone accept Kanaan is an organic part of the show. Kanaan needs to be killed off next season within the first 5 episodes. His time is done. 50 Cent needs to take his production credit and go sip some Vitamin water on a island somewhere. But that character has run his course, at this point his dyke cousin is a more dynamic and interesting character than he is. I honestly think Tasha and Ghost should get back together for most of next season and that Tasha needs to 100% grow out of the ratchet persona and start thinking like a true boss bytch. Her husband is being framed for murder and her son has been kidnapped. Tommy is a crazy live wire and she has nobody else to depend on. She needs to step it up next season big time. Angela needs to stop being so goddamn weepy and choose a side. Angela should be the main antagonist next season as she attempts to nail Ghost whatever the costs. All of this will they/won't they needs to be put to the side for at least half a season.

Soulja Boy tryna be on Power
Chemo takes out your energy, your heart, and any strength you have. Yet, nobody questioned that writing. Let me add, he had a DEA brother in law and he took down 2 gangs all by himself and no witness ever came forward. Nobody to flip
Yet you neggas come back every week, then oh good season and boring finale. Go watch Another girl or Curb your enthusiasm for prolific writing
