I really enjoyed season 5 actually but I get people's criticism. Season spoilers below
|
I definitely feel as though the riot dragged on for way too long. Ideally they could have had half of the season been about the riot and the other half be about the consequences after its all said and done. Although I do understand if they wanted it to keep the passage of time consistent as it would be kind of jarring to go from multiple episodes representing a couple days to something which in the real world would likely take weeks to actually take effect.
They also completely dropped the whole piscatella-murdering-someone storyline. Like wtf? None of them seriously ever brought up Wes Driscoll or the murder while they had him all hogtied up in the pool??? Just left Red and the unibrow girl's entire subplot this season feel like it was for nothing. Piscatella's storyline was NOT complete, so unless he becomes a fucking zombie or something...
Also, dumbest criticism ever, but I find it really hard to believe that Flaritza's vlogs wouldn't go viral as fuck. They were only raking in like 6000 views max. Two cute prison girls making beauty vlogs from the middle of a fucking riot zone? That would get so much news coverage!!!!
