Finished Season 4 (spoilers)


Finished Season 4 this weekend and now I'm 3 eps into Season 5.

Season 4 turned out to be a very good one....after I was not too thrilled after the first few eps.

Anthony Anderson was a pleasant suprise, nice to see him in a serious role. All other main actors did still a very good job too.

It's always a love-hate relationship with Shane. He f.ucks up so many times, but in the end he's still so loyal and a good friend (so far)....Kudos to Walton Goggins for portraying him so well.

I never came to like Claudette....but it's the character which I don't like. Not CCH Pounder, she's acting very good, that's probably the reason I don't like her character.

I was pretty sure that Monica (Glenn Close) is going to get killed in the last scene by some offended community member or gang member. Or that she might commit suicide....well, I was wrong. Do we ever find out what will happen to her?

I can see why this season is seen as controversial, some scenes and lines are quite tough. But I think it's not meant to be racist just for the sake of it, it was to drive the story forward...and that was the characters ways to push the community and the gang members. Is it nice?....no. Should it be that way?....no. But does it really happen out there....for sure.

All in all another strong season. Now Kavanaugh made his entrance (portrayed by F. Whitaker, a very very good actor imo). Already looks like Lem's gonna be in deep trouble. Too bad, I really like his character more and more.
