After terrific first 2 seasons, a middling 3rd season we reach an all time low point with season 4. The Frank Lucas arc could have been a high point for the season but is instead the most contrived and cliched nothing storyline. Add this to Chin’s absence and replacement with the ever annoying Mary Sue Stella and this season is a jumbled parody of what it once was and seemingly written by a staff fuelled by huffing their own flatulence.
