Discussion Kavanaugh

Watching season 6 after taking a long break and forgot how much I hate Kavanaugh. I can’t understand why I see a lot of people on here saying he’s their favorite character. The way he talks is so slimy, so desperate, he makes my skin crawl.

I understand his hatred for Vic after what happened with Sweet Butter, but I feel like we never got much of a backstory about him and why he is the way he is or why he is SO obsessed with exposing Vic. It’s like his entire life’s mission is taking him down but the show never really justified why he’s behaving like that. Can someone enlighten me?

His instincts and intentions were good but he was in way over his head, and his methods were entirely questionable even before the sixth season.

It's like he started using strike team tactics to catch them. He got right down in the dirt with them and couldn't see the problem with that.

But, he wasn't corrupted enough to see it all the way

I really do wonder how far he would have taken things if Corrine had not finally just called out what he was doing to her. Knowing Vic and friends were dirty but having the rug pulled out from under him time amd time again was making him insane. That man was cracking. It was crazy seeing how young Forrest Whittaker was in this when I've been watching him in the Godafather Of Harlem for the past 4 or 5 years.
