Couldn't agree more. This may be one of the most overrated shows I've ever seen.
[Show spoiler]
Turturro was the best character in the show and from episodes 3-7 he's practically unheard of, in the background, doing nothing. Horrible writing.
The law firm that takes over his case - the head attorney quits after he doesn't take plea deal but junior attorney from the firm stays on the case?? Makes no sense - if the firm is out, why are they still representing him? Why oh why wouldn't you just put Tuturro back as the lawyer then?
His female attorney visits him one day in jail and out of nowhere they make out?? Uh....ok....not sure where that came from. Oh and then every meeting thereafter they act like nothing happened. Again, terrible writing.
After he goes to jail, he practically goes from being a boy scout to a thug in about 15 minutes. Nobody watching the TV would believe the sudden transformation. Could it happen over months? Sure. But we see it literally happen overnight. Not happening.
