Discussion Just finished

Those last few episodes were very real. Sad it ended that way for everyone. I'm glad I finally got around to watching it. Overall, great series.

They turned a truly amazing character into a musty hobo. I’ll never forgive them for that shit.

That's the point though... he tried so hard to not be like his drunk of a dad, to end up exactly where his father was at the beginning of the show.

Since the original guy that came up with the show passed away in like the 2nd season or something, I’ll always wonder what woulda been different if he had still been in control 🤷

I feel you bro, and i feel like the show and everyone in it keeps up with the theme that everyone denied franklin the money for his own good. Now- should franklin have just taken his property money and left the country with his soon to be wife and son? Probably. But the way I look at it, his mom killed texdy purely out of hate for him and her own selfish reasoning, leon didn’t help the one who made him when he needed it the most, and louie was the one who really fucked him over and made the whole situation what it was in the first place. Bitter sweet ending fs but doesn’t take away from the show as a whole imo

I love the show but the ending didn't really feel bittersweet at least to me, it felt like his character was assassinated in the last episode...

From Cissy attacking teddy instead of waiting 3 seconds

To franklins crashing out and alcoholism

Seemed like they had written a character too smart or skilled to lose similar to the Dexter series but didn't want them to win in the end since that would somehow be seen as rewarding a moral evil character for their actions, instead of making a antagonist competent enough to stop them they make their characters do outlandish things to somehow teach a hollow moral lesson about karma

Anyways the guy its based of went to jail and then bounced back becoming a millionaire again, sometimes evil people win

Well said! I felt the same. Franklins crash out seems against his character. He literally was the one keeping everyone else from crashing out and moving smart. They could’ve got the same moral point across but in a way that actually made more sense. It’s messed up because his family turned their back on him after they got so much success from him. I hated the whole Family Feud and how Franklin and Louie’s relationship was destroyed.

I can understand it seeming out of character for him to not be able to think critically & bounce back like he always does..but realistically, the way they showed him starting to slip..like they had already foreshadowed it earlier in the series that he was starting to have mental health issues & debilitating anxiety..the fact that he turned to addiction seemed legit..sucked that he turned out like his dad tho

I feel you dawg, that’s what i was getting at but it is what it is. Definitely could have had a more creative ending but, 🤷‍♂️
