Obviously, it's not good to be judgy in a normal everyday context where your average friends are flawed, normal human beings.

But I HIGHLY doubt that if your circle of friends includes pornstar Cassie and her husband roid rage Nate, drug dealer Rue, pimp Maddy and dicks obsessed Jules, you would be patient, kind, understanding and loving. Especially when they've been shown to be inconsiderate of her and they all have at least one scene where they take advantage of her kindness.

I'm kinda baffled by the sub's hate as if they haven't been judging the characters the entire time.

I don't mean in the 'obviously he's pathetic cause he's a trafficker and drug dealer' kinda way. And if I see a guy with his reputation IRL I'd of course run the other way

But in the narrative sense, I feel like he's just not intimidating. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion. He's supposed to be this criminal mastermind and kingpin, and I get that he's also supposed to be psychotic enough that he'd kill someone over a little thing.

But I think between him getting all butthurt about being called a pig and then the freakout over the pants, he just looks ridiculous to me. I get it's supposed to make him look unhinged and dangerous but for some reason it doesn't work for me. He's like a middle school boy who just got rejected to a dance and is texting all his incel buddies about how the girl is ugly.

I think being both an intelligent mastermind AND psychotically crazy is hard to do with a villain. The best example I can think of is Joker or Moriarty in some versions. Actually, they were good at doing this with Nate in s1 + s2, maybe not 'mastermind' level but definitely smart, manipulative, but also psychotic. But there's a reason most villains are either one or the other and not necessarily both. I feel like the writing's not strong enough to make Alamo scary, I just roll my eyes whenever he has a lil bitch fit. Maybe it has to do with the dialogue. I get that the dialogue is meant to sound deep and intimidating, instead he kinda just sounds like a dumb edgelord on tumblr sometimes. Not the actor's fault, though, I really do feel like it's because of how he's written.

I wish they'd kept Laurie as the main villain. The creepy monotone voice + her looking like a suburban mom who baked cookies made for a more interesting character.

I realize this may be unpopular but I do wanna know if anyone else feels this way?
