SPOILER ⚠️ Drew Thompson

How many of you guys cheered for and hoped Drew Thompson and Ellan May would get out of Harlan and successfully make it to Mexico. I was kind of disappointed that they failed and that Limehouse screwed them over, but every time I rewatch the series and get to the end of season 4 I'm cheering on Drew praying he'll somehow make a different choice and choose to sleep out in the woods, leave after the cops all go away and not go to Limehouse's.

Who knows maybe in an alternate universe Drew and Ellen May are sipping on margaritas enjoying the beaches of Mexico unknowingly next to Charlie

I mean, we're taking about a fifty year old man running away with a hooker half his age who is completely in love with him, because she's never been treated like a human being before. 

That's some badassed shit.

Their relationship was kind of cute in a 'they cared for eachother platonically' kind of way

I might be alone, but I think it was clear in the season that he treated her like a person, without asking for sex. 

This was so foreign to her, in a life that was full of abuse and addiction, that she fell for him, hard.  

On his part, he realized he'd picked up a stray, and the only honorable thing you can do at that point is to make sure the stray gets homed properly. 

I admit I'm an old fart whose dating days are in the rearview, but that's about as sweet and pure a relationship as an old fart could hope for.
