You might not like it (which is fine!), but it is the best reason for it because that's not how the writers work. I've been reading All The Pieces Matter, the oral history of the show, and it seems clear to me why they didn't have them reconnect.


I'm going to read this

I just finished the finale this morning. Been waiting to come back to the thread. What a show. Dukie and Michael's story line were definitely the most hard hitting for me in the whole series.

This scene especially gut wrenching:

I've been watching a bunch of YouTube clips (I've watched it start to finish about 3-4 times) and there are 2 new things that bother me:

1) Marlo Stanfield is an unconvincing kingpin. He looks like a kid. They should have gotten a tougher/older looking guy.
2) season 5 made the press look too good. It made it seem like other than one rogue reporter and oblivious management, the press is honest and not a bunch hacks that they have since proven themselves to be.
