Where was Frank from? Boston? Chicago? I love that they had the brothers badgering him on his death march.
I liked this season and the finale was dope. Ray just had to see his son one more time and paid for it with his life 
great homage to Heat BTW, same thing that did DeNiro in. I knew Frank wasn't gonna make it, them vultures following his ass were waiting to

Says the idiot who claims POWER is the best shyt on tvHbo needs to start from scratch. Bring in a new team of writers amd just let em work.
Is it a way we can keep track of everyone that liked this season? Cuz their opinions should be sh1t from now on
I'll say it was laughably bad, which is repetition at this point ....and the finale just cemented an incredibly awful misfire, that was near self parody at almost all times...How many better and worse movies did the finale repeat? Did Pizzaloto really think he cut deep into the heart of the multi faceted/multi cultured LA criminal underworld or political sphere?
Did he think he captured the grit of LA's mexican gangs by casting the guys from Mobb Deep 'Got It Twisted' video....? Did he think that the outrageous antics of his antiheroes, that were as believable as me playing Goldeneye when I was 12 years old were compelling violent drama? Does he realize that his show....if played straight is a C- at absolute best? If played as some kind of bizarre, campy parody it's about a C.
Did he think Farrell needed just that extra rugged touch by giving him a fukking cowboy hat? Were we supposed to feel such a sense of despair and hopelessness that cycle of corruption continued in LA and Vinci? Are we forever haunted by Ray's decision to drive the SAME fukking vehicle he as an ABP out for, after fleeing the scene of a murder, multiple murders and all kinds of mayhem?
Does he realize the absurdity of his closing scenes with Ray? Or besides the absurdity, the fact that every low rent bruce willis or Denzel thriller has that same hackneyed scenes of the running shootout in the woods...going back 20 years? Was he just overwhelmed at his own brilliance when wrote the scenes that had Frank hallucinate figures from his life as he walked threw the desert, slowly dying?
I wrote a story at age 17 for school about a gangster trapped in the trunk of a car, on his way out to the LA desert to be murdered and the aftermath, that had more emotion and tension then that godawful sequence. It was aptly titled 'The Trunk'. This is an emperor has no clothes situation for Pizzaloto. And he didn't fail trying to do something different, this is the same fukking thing, reheated and badly rearranged.

The real villains of season 1 got away with it too. Except Ani gave all the info to a journalist, so maybe the season 2 villains don't get away scott free. The mexican dudes must a bought in with the money Frank gave.
Was that the scar chick standing next to those two at the end tho?
Figured Ray was death flagged once he visited his son. Frank should have just gave the suit, but I guess once you got back to being a gangster... then shyt is about respect. He let his pride get him killed
Yeah it's a step down from Season 1, but damn if I didn't like this season. I would give it a 8/10.
Also Burris puts in work
Thought dude woulda got popped.

did anyone else catch the meaning of the theme song... it's the first thing that i thought off when the credits rolled.... reading them now... they told the EXACT story from jump
{Intro}
The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
I crossed the line
I was not caught
Though many tried
I live among you
Well-disguised
I had to leave
My life behind
I dug some graves
You'll never find
The story's told
With facts and lies
I had a name
But never mind
Never mind
Never mind
The war was lost
The treaty signed
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies
I don't know which
So never mind
(...السلام و السلام)
Your victory
Was so complete
Some among you
Thought to keep
A record of
Our little lives
The clothes we wore
Our spoons our knives
The games of luck
Our soldiers played
The stones we cut
The songs we made
Our law of peace
Which understands
A husband leads
A wife commands
And all of these
Expressions of the
Sweet indifference
Some called love
The high indifference
Some call fate
But we had names
More intimate
Names so deep
And names so true
They're blood to me
Dust to you
There is no need
And this survives
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies
Never mind
Never mind
I leave the life
I left behind
There's Truth that lives
And Truth that dies
I don't know which
So never mind
(...السلام و السلام)
I could not kill
The way you kill
I could not hate
I tried, I failed
You turned me in
At least you tried
You side with them whom
You despise
This was your heart
This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth
This bowl of lies
You serve them well
I'm not surprised
You're of their kin
You're of their kind
Never mind
Never mind
I had to leave my
Life behind
The story's told
With facts and lies
You own the world
So never mind
Never mind
Never mind
I live the life
I left behind
I live it full
I live it wide
Through layers of time
You can't divide
My woman's here
My children too
Their graves are safe
From ghosts like you
In places deep
With roots entwined
I live the life
I left behind
السلام و السلام
The war was lost
The treaty signed
I was not caught
Across the line
I was not caught
Tho many tried
I live among you
Well-disguised

The vast design
Or who will be
Last of his kind}

season 2 was pretty good, finale could have been better. 
Pegasus Jackson
Trump's Amerikkka
The worst thing about this trash was gay motorcycle cop. Surely death is worse than being outed as a batty boy. The lengths he went through to hide his sexual orientation was ridiculous. It's 2015.

Fukkk...that was a sad ending man. I knew it was coming when things were going too smoothly in the first half of the episode
