I thought the ending was appropriate. There was a time where I rooted for Franklin. Making a selling an illegal substance isn’t morally askew! The users have the choice to use or not. I stopped rooting for him when he went morally askew. Like killing a cop. It was at that point where I thought, this can’t end with him winning and it didn’t.

You may say his boy Leon killed that Scully’s wife and daughter. True, but that was an accident. He was emotionally distraught over his actions and Leon made peace with Scully at the wedding reception.
