Sounds about right. I'm cringing and bracing for a big reveal that Alton isn't dead. I sincerely hope i'm wrong because this would put us firmly in SOA territory.

Same above... if Avi lives and is being tortured or something, we're in SOA land

What book did he want Franklin to read?

Ha this is true. Great point about Teddy running and Franklin riding with him. I didn't consider it.

Yeah, she's terribly written. She's starting to remind me of Axe's wife on Billions going on in every scene about her scrappy working class roots.
I assume her scammer past is gonna save them somehow in the finale but still..

It's the show i always expected, which is mid level good, entertaining, solid acting, LA shit, etc.. After s3 it felt it was turning a corner, and maybe even sneaking its way into that upper tier. but this ain't that, which is fine, i guess
