I think a lot of the negative reviews here stem from Billy not stopping the bad people. That in the end, the corrupt candidate becomes the winner and the drug kingpin is free to operate. The bad people win in this world.
What I did not like was that it was never made clear why convicting the kid was so darn important. Event the corrupt cop said he had someone willing to take the fall for the crime. So why the kid? And over the killing of a wannabe that wasn't in a gang and did not know "the code"so higher ups were afraid would talk if ever arrested?? What did he know?? Nothing. He was a really low level runner so...? He did not even know the bigger players in the scheme! Why the big issue?? The foundation of the entire season was shaky just based on that.
Otherwise I give this all a five due to the acting. Great casting! Too bad the writing let it all down.
