Season 5, Episode 8
10/10
Missing the point
3 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
People are upset at the anticlimactic death of Omar, but they are completely missing the point. Throughout the show, important characters such as Bodie have been killed in anticlimactic ways, and Omar is not different. His death shouldn't be stylized or fancy, death should never be pretty. It's sudden, it's shocking, and when you play the game like Omar, it can happen anytime. People who are mad missed the point of the episode and a major theme in the show, which is death is not pretty, and people who are in the streets rarely go peacefully.
