I just watched all of the first season of Fire Country and I’m so fucking furious right now

Like yes I understand that this is a series, so they have to have drama and cliffhangers, etc. But that ending is so fucking infuriating I cannot handle it.

WHERE WAS THE PUBLIC DEFENDER. WHY WERENT THEY IN THE ROOM. WHY WOULDNT HE AT LEAST ASK SOMEONE “Hey, does this seem right to you?” BEFORE FUCKING CONFESSING. ALSO GETTING FREDDY OUT THAT SAME DAY IS SUCH BULLSHIT IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT.

Like I know that this kind of crap- manipulation of people charged with crimes and coerced confessions by law enforcement and prosecutors- is exactly what happens to people around this country every single day. And its been pissing me off for a long time, for as long as I’ve known about it and especially since I took a criminal justice ethics class where we did a deep dive into the absolute atrocity that is the public defense system in New Orleans.

But I literally just graduated from law school and I was hoping to at least have a break from law-related stress (well, other than bar prep).

Instead, I just about dove through my tv and am now trying to strategize how best to join the damn writers team so I can prevent this bullshit from happening again. There is so much room for drama on a show about incarcerated firefighters like you have literal natural disasters and a shit ton of family and relationship drama and you could show the difficulties of adjusting to life on the outside of prison and also the ways the prison system is truly fucked up. You don’t need to add in even more shit like this!!!

Okay end of rant, but NOT the end of my anger.
