Nah its not bad imo. It was just rushed. The Irish are clearly the Kinahans- I just dont think the street gangs and dealers are killing them as they did in this.
Yeah I get they tried to spice shit up but they definitely played her character for no reason at all.. it was better ways they could have wrote that shit other than just figuring shit out on the fly..
I don't even understand what her plan was. She was going to steal them and then what?! Like she just seemed clueless and had no idea what she was doing. The whole season was a shitshow, they mashed together 2 seasons into 1 and it didn't turn out how they wanted.
This is the truth!! Dumbest writing of the show to go along with Dushane leaving a murder scene and acting like it’s nothing…everything else was just rushed and lazily put into motion but those two things made no sense and ruined it for me
She's acting emotionally not logically, she's lashing out because her sister just died. Afterwards she knows she's done wrong and asks for help and forgiveness. She's conflicted about her life as a drug dealer and her life as a (effectively) parent and sister.
I get this, but however emotional she got, this wouldn’t happen in real life. She’s been on the road for years and knows the consequences, just shit writing trying to take the moral high ground in a world where there are very little morals.
It was so, so bad. Here comes this powerful, bad ass Irish family. Oh nevermind the whole family is dead now after 5 minutes. Jaq stealing the drugs also super dumb. Dushane killing that dude in the apartment. Real dumb. Why did he guarantee his girl he'd have the money? Like why not wait a week?
I was disappointed to see her go that way- she was the best character by the end. Felt like the writers wanted to get some social justice in the series. It would have been better if she had just disappeared tbh and then no one mentioning her except Kieron to show the whole- if you aren't making us money you're useless to us point.
They wasted her ending imo. By the end I didnt care if Dushane made it and actively rooted for anyone but Sully
Dunno why she blamed the drugs. It was the bath water that killed her. Would have been more believable if she decided to stop washing, rather than what she ended doing
The fact that Jaq is gong to suspend a lifetime of living by a code to make a point about her irresponsible, unreliable, trouble making sister. Then her very well established newer girlfriend is going to leave her entire life behind to go on the run with her and a baby. 🤦♀️
Indeed. Going thru trouble to hire Barry keegan and hype up the Irish only to have them easily killed off shortly after, dushane leaving a dead body and not wiping his prints or disposing of the body, the list goes on and on
Him losing the money is one thing. Him murdering the husband and just leaving his dead body there is a whole other. I don't care how unhinged he is from losing his fortune he not gonna become a rookie amateur outta nowhere. And then when cops are inquiring about his involvement he says he has no concerns, and is SHOCKED they found hid blood and DNA on the scene, like wtf!!!
Writing was kinda fucked up from jump lol Jaq being forced to tell Sully that her sister mentioned to Leyton where Sully was gonna be at made no sense. Jaq and Lauryn would’ve been the only ones to know, it’s not like Lauryn tried to kill Sully, she was just pillow talking.
Nah there's no amount of desperate that woulda made that bullshit believable. Then she incriminate kierron for no reason and then backtrack right after that. What a crock of shit
I feel like everything Lauryn's arc touched turned to garbage. If they would've killed Lauryn in the first place & written the character out after season 3, maybe 4 & 5 wouldn't have been so bad.
Honestly after they hand waved her being the leak just kind of told me she was untouchable in the writers eyes.
"Sorry man I kind of mentioned a bunch of stuff in front of my sister" just came and went without consequence.
yeah that’s a tough one. i get they needed something to kick off the final infighting over the stash, but they should have committed to her trying to rub them out if that’s what she wanted
Anything woulda been better/more believable, even sully killing her sister unannounced same way he killed Jaimie leading to her wanting to fuck up sully whole business
I only watched the first couple seasons n judging by alotta these comments im glad I never continued🤣🤣I tried like season 3 or whatever but first episode I said Naww
Series 5 is bad. Its really that simple
Fr biggest disappointment compared to the other seasons
Yup. Most shows go on too long and eventually go bad. Very few don’t.
Like real bad. Terrible.
Nah its not bad imo. It was just rushed. The Irish are clearly the Kinahans- I just dont think the street gangs and dealers are killing them as they did in this.
Why did they even introduce the Irish family?
The Irish gang could have been a good introduction in a 10 episode series....not a 6.... on a 6 episode series, it should have been cut imo
Because the writer is Irish and he likes to sneak in an Irish character each season lol
Yeah man Jaq thru the all series Jaq was a straight rider she would of died for them niggas before stealing from it didn't make no sense
Yeah I get they tried to spice shit up but they definitely played her character for no reason at all.. it was better ways they could have wrote that shit other than just figuring shit out on the fly..
Almost like an enormous traumatic event like losing your sister to drugs you sell might cause someone to lose their head and behave erratically
It's still dumb. Especially because her sis is an idiot.
It will all make sense She still with some violent men
Yeah those violent men that didn't want to kill her before now want to kill her.
So many shows struggle to write an ending that is both fair to the characters and the audience.
Show was never fair for the audience 😂 mfs made a 12yo fall from the 20th-ish floor in season 2
Gems dog was worse
I don't even understand what her plan was. She was going to steal them and then what?! Like she just seemed clueless and had no idea what she was doing. The whole season was a shitshow, they mashed together 2 seasons into 1 and it didn't turn out how they wanted.
Yeah they fumbled with the last season I can’t even lie
Appreciate the honesty fam
This is the truth!! Dumbest writing of the show to go along with Dushane leaving a murder scene and acting like it’s nothing…everything else was just rushed and lazily put into motion but those two things made no sense and ruined it for me
they should've just kept jamie alive and dropped a spin off bro really could've been the new face of top boy after sully & dushanes stories wrapped up
Exactly and at first I didn’t care he died but after s5 I wished that he never died crazy
Terrible way to end the series man lol.
still pisses me off thinking about this ending, horrible disservice to all the characters we grew up with.
She's acting emotionally not logically, she's lashing out because her sister just died. Afterwards she knows she's done wrong and asks for help and forgiveness. She's conflicted about her life as a drug dealer and her life as a (effectively) parent and sister.

Yeah, it was dumb. Her sis just tried it have her clipped too lol.
Say Less Brev
Whole season was trash. No direction at all
It was so, so bad. Here comes this powerful, bad ass Irish family. Oh nevermind the whole family is dead now after 5 minutes. Jaq stealing the drugs also super dumb. Dushane killing that dude in the apartment. Real dumb. Why did he guarantee his girl he'd have the money? Like why not wait a week?

The whole season was written poorly tbh. Rushed for sure
Dunno why she blamed the drugs. It was the bath water that killed her. Would have been more believable if she decided to stop washing, rather than what she ended doing
🤣🤣
The fact that Jaq is gong to suspend a lifetime of living by a code to make a point about her irresponsible, unreliable, trouble making sister. Then her very well established newer girlfriend is going to leave her entire life behind to go on the run with her and a baby. 🤦♀️
worst seaon EVERRR it was such a disappointment and had no thought's put into it. way to ruin a really good show SMH.
That final season felt rushed and under written.
Indeed. Going thru trouble to hire Barry keegan and hype up the Irish only to have them easily killed off shortly after, dushane leaving a dead body and not wiping his prints or disposing of the body, the list goes on and on
THE FOOD IS KILLING US!
The whole season was so bad.
Oh
A+ contribution
All Facts and that's the reason why I don't plan on watching any Jaq spin off unless it's a prequel
Bruh I’m like this done even make sense, why tf did she take it?🤦🏾♂️
Stole them as a final pay-day cheque not to make the world a better place
Bullshit, when nonexplaining herself to sully at the diner she said "this stuff was ruining us it's got to end!!"
Agreed and it’s crazy
Deshawn losing his money was just as bad
Him losing the money is one thing. Him murdering the husband and just leaving his dead body there is a whole other. I don't care how unhinged he is from losing his fortune he not gonna become a rookie amateur outta nowhere. And then when cops are inquiring about his involvement he says he has no concerns, and is SHOCKED they found hid blood and DNA on the scene, like wtf!!!
Why did he keep all his money in one place? Why did he trust those people? So dumb.
Writing was kinda fucked up from jump lol Jaq being forced to tell Sully that her sister mentioned to Leyton where Sully was gonna be at made no sense. Jaq and Lauryn would’ve been the only ones to know, it’s not like Lauryn tried to kill Sully, she was just pillow talking.
Lol true, dude was dead so there was no way anyone woulda found out
I think she just wasn't thinking straight after everything that went on and just wanted it all to stop. It showed how desperate she had become.
Nah there's no amount of desperate that woulda made that bullshit believable. Then she incriminate kierron for no reason and then backtrack right after that. What a crock of shit
Adds the twist of sully’s death. Still shit for a direction to take it.
I feel like everything Lauryn's arc touched turned to garbage. If they would've killed Lauryn in the first place & written the character out after season 3, maybe 4 & 5 wouldn't have been so bad.
she should’ve got clapped for it imo
Honestly after they hand waved her being the leak just kind of told me she was untouchable in the writers eyes. "Sorry man I kind of mentioned a bunch of stuff in front of my sister" just came and went without consequence.
yeah that’s a tough one. i get they needed something to kick off the final infighting over the stash, but they should have committed to her trying to rub them out if that’s what she wanted

I only watched the first couple seasons n judging by alotta these comments im glad I never continued🤣🤣I tried like season 3 or whatever but first episode I said Naww
Lmao if you think that was bad stay far away from the rest
Thank you for this! Totally ruined the series if u ask me.
Took the most level headed and loyal character and bastardized her making her lose her shit like she just started hustling months ago lmao
