This story is so stupid

This story is so stupid,I didn't enjoy this show at all.A lot of it didn't make sense.

For example:
1.How the hell can anybody work for someone who is in prison?I would be impossible for someone in prison to control and run a criminal enterprise!!!

2.Why didn't the black guy at the Ecstasy deal shoot Freddie?If someone was aiming a gun at one of my friends I would take him out!!!Plus,Turkish drug dealers aren't very tolerant people,and tend to be ruthless.The fallout from that event would have destroyed their world!!!Not to mention that Freddie would most probably have been killed the next day.And maybe even Jimmy if he had decided to defend him.Plus,they would have considered this a betrayal(perhaps even an act of war)on Ozzie's part,and it's pretty easy for people that powerful to have someone in prison killed!!!

3.How did Freddie know Maggie was IN her apartment?Jimmy could have rented them a hotel suite,and she could have been bathing there.

I should have known those alien maggots booby trapped this sub.

You have WAY too much time on your hands.

I'll address concern #1 ...
When a career criminal goes to jail it's akin to a boy scout getting another badge on his way to Eagle Scout. Watch the 'History Channel' bios on mobsters and what they did when they were incarcerated. They passed the baton to an underboss and their criminal organization continued.

Okay,fair enough.

But would you address my other concerns?

And who was the underboss?Was it Freddie?

Freddie doesn't seem to be very reliable and is a loose cannon.

Ozzie should have just gotten rid of him.And what about the fallback from the ecstacy deal?

The guys that made this show should have done more research on Turkish drug dealers and how they operate.

First of all,there should have been more guys at the Ecstacy deal.A guy in charge and men with guns.

Just having ONE guy there isn't an accurate representation of how they operate.And if Freddie had really been stupid enough to draw his gun he would have been put down.

I mean let's forget about the book,the writers obviously have!!!

I just want this show to be more accurate.Even the action sequences(which this show was lacking.)were really lame.
