10. "It took a while, but Season 5"
In response to In response to 7


  

          

Forrest Whitaker as Kavanaugh was the best foil for Vic over the course of the show's run. Knowing what's going to happen with this season, was similar to watching The Wire for the second time, knowing the deaths of characters you have grown to love, or at the very least care about are coming. The first time I saw the season, I had no idea what was going to happen, but at the same time didn't think it would be all nice and clean (having seen episodes of The Wire).
Anyway, here goes the review:

Highlights:
The game of cat and cat (neither actually was the mouse) between Vic and Kavanaugh, culminating in Vic banging Kavanaugh's ex, just because he could. This whole season kept you truly guessing the entire time what was going to happen next. It almost made you try and make a deal with yourself or your television that if this didn't happen, you'd be so grateful. It wasn't going to happen though.

Dutch and Claudette's tension because of her festering distrust of Dutch. The pure comedy of Billings running the Barn.

Lowlights:
Corrine finally had a good reason to be whiny and weak and it still didn't make me like or feel sorry for her any more. Not enough Gina Torres. If you have access to Gina Torres, you need to find a reason to have her on as much as possible. OR at least I would have.

Overall: A+
