instead Davis gets a get out of jail free card and we move along to more of him acting like an a-hole.


What I don't understand is that Davis was all about ending the corruption and old way of doing things but as soon as someone gave him the get out of jail free card (bribe) he jumped at it. I guess he just wanted to make $$$$$ off campaign CD's.

This felt really fake to me. I just don't see his character getting that excited over a simply favor from a judge in the future. That plot twist felt really fake to me.

That was the point. At the end of the day he had no principles like the rest of them.

I like to think of it in the same light as David Milch's second series with HBO, John from Cincinnati, which I thought sucked hard. But really, it didnt have a chance after following Deadwood. I think the same goes for Simon and this series. While I think Treme is good, and not as horrible as people are making it out to be, I can see why some tuned out.
