GENIUS BUT.....

SPOILERS AHEADS.

Wow. I watched this for the first time at time of writing. The series slipped under my radar until recently and I'm binging it now.

The death of Richard was a shock but his sacrifice only deepened my regard for this incredible series.

The bad guy (Percy from The Green Mile) was perfectly despicable and Helen's retribution was summary justice at its best.

True Integrity

When that gutter rat in jail puts out a hit on Richard after threatening him once, he goes on ahead because he knows that it is the right thing to do. He had an opportunity to have police protection, but in reality, he probably would have been targeted later. Helen takes things very hard. She had overstepped her bounds but the judge managed to play the situation to keep that guy permanently out of commission. Plus we don't know what is in store for him down the line.

Good episode, but...

Did they really kill my favorite character? Unsubscribed.

Grrrrrrrrr

Richard Bey was such a great character in this series! He kicked opposing counsel in the shins & learned to kiss from Helen. He was seriously neurotic, but balanced with a lot of integrity. It made me mad as hell 20+ years ago that they killed him off in a scene reminiscent of Bonnie & Clyde only to replace him with a pretty boy DA, & I had the same reaction watching it again now. But it was the logical conclusion to his unyielding handling of the psycho he was trying.

You have to love David E Kelley.
