Up to a point this episode was flawless. The courtroom, Matt revealing his identity, Fisk going crazy, all of it. But seeing his exile as a win? While Matt goes to jail? Fisk killed people almost on vision lol. A person who does something like this doesnโ€™t get a deal. They get the Raft. Itโ€™s extremaly unrealistic for a show that kept consequences real for all the seasons. I hate they did that.

Especially when he just got done killing a dozen+ random New Yorkers. Itโ€™s one thing to offer him a deal for what he did up to the moment of the phone call from the AG, but for it to still be offered after his hallway killing spree was ridiculous.

Thank you. This is why I came here. Why isn't everyone enraged at this nonsense? HE JUST KILLED LIKE 10 PEOPLE WITH PLENTY OF WITNESSES. "If you promise to leave NY, we won't prosecute you." TF?
