He was either mobbed up or a cop, I think, meant to keep all the women and pimps who wouldn't get on board with the... civic renewal project, I guess, in line.

I like Abby, she's the first steps into second-wave feminism and that's something pretty cool to explore.

I think you're all just describing character flaws, which aren't really an issue with the writing. She's spiteful and kind of malicious and I think that's coming in part from the fact she's just drifting in a malaise. I think we can all recall a time like that in our lives and eventhough our parents might have been pretty cool people, like Abby's dad, we rebel against them in petty ways.

That whole final episode it was like I forgot what I was watching, because I expected nothing but silly drama. Vincent telling Rudy, "With respect, but gently caress you?" Thought for sure that was Vincent's death-knell, and all Rudy did was laugh and say he'd come around. CC and Ashley, Reggie and Abby, Frankie and the coins - I all expected it to end up, like, Law and Order or some poo poo. Instead things just happened. They got better for some people and worse for others.

Someone brought this up earlier, but the mafia was in a transitional period at the time, leveraging connections in attempt to take their business legit. Rudy doesn't flinch because he's really left the street behind him and has for years probably, plus it's raining dollars everyday. It's a good character moment, rounding him out.
