The one time I thought I was going to dislike a Rake episode
grantss26 September 2022
After the first few scenes of this I was convinced I was going to dislike this episode. A racist right-wing shock jock effectively calls for white people to attack Moslems and within hours such an attack occurs. She's then charged with inciting race riots and violence. Clearly she's going to be Cleaver's Greene's client for this episode and I definitely don't want her to get off. But Cleaver always wins, so I can't see myself liking how this is going to turn out. Plus, surely the writers don't want us to support her?

Thankfully the writers are better than that and weave a great story that pulls your views on the matter back and forth and provides a very satisfactory ending. Throw in the usual personal issues Cleaver has and it's a great episode.
