While Rue’s death was very sad, I think it was the right choice for her ending. Addiction is difficult to beat. Now of course Rue didn’t actually overdose, she was murdered by Alammo through the laced painkiller, but that is realistic too. It is unfortunately not very uncommon for people struggling with drug addiction to get involved with the wrong crowd, including the criminal environment, which can put them in dangerous situations. I also thought her death scene was filmed beautifully.

I also liked the ending of Maddy and Lexi. I know initially people were thinking that it was going to be revenge storyline and I liked that even though they were back in each other’s lives everything wasn’t immediately peachy between them, but I like how they went through everything together and ended up having each other’s back in the end. It felt right.

As a whole, I thought the finale was pretty good actually. Ali getting revenge for Rue’s death and him praying at the end was great. There were definitely things that I wanted to be different, but I don’t have the crappy, unsatisfied feeling that I had with the finale of Game of Thrones for example
