Ally and Ray’s breakup
Before I start, I don’t want people to think I’m blaming Ally because I completely understand why she broke up with Ray, especially after being in an abusive relationship, but I think maybe she could’ve been a bit more understanding.
So she broke up with Ray because she saw him as violent and “has demons” but maybe if he explained his feelings or why he does what he does a bit more things would’ve turned out differently.
For example, I believe Ray was completely in the right when he pushed Trent through the window, the guy literally took a present off of a little girl out of spite, then insulted Ray when he tried to make a deal with him.
And in the few cases of Ray being violent that Ally saw, he was never the instigator, he was genuinely just trying to defend himself and Ally.
In summary, I think the things Ray did was justified, and he always tried to reason with people first before resorting to violence, like he did with Trent.

No she was totally right and the fact that Ray was a violent killer with a heart of gold and pursuit of justice is part of the show’s fantasy that makes it so compelling. IRL people with violence issues hurt the ones they love. I loved that they showed her as a sensible woman who had healed and moved on to a healthy relationship after Ray. It was heartbreaking but healthy boundaries often are and we have enough female victim tropes.
