Ooh, that's exciting. S1 was super fun. If S2 is better, I'm in for a treat!

Season 2 is better.

People, especially those that are wealthy, blame bad areas/poor neighborhoods and the people in them, for crime all the time. Usually everyone is stereotyped and lumped together as the problem. I don't think it was outlandish for Malcolm to do the same, especially since his logic is skewed by grief. That said, while they were fine with gentrification, nobody thinks leveling the Glades is a good idea. It's crazy! Seems like this is all Malcolm, but they are scared to go against him, so now they are complicit as well. Like Oliver, Malcolm returned home on a mission of "justice." It's a theme we've seen repeatedly with Oliver all season. (Helena) There is a fine line between justice and vengeance. Who gets to define justice. What makes your justice more valid than someone else's? I always liked the parallels between Malcolm and Oliver here. I always thought Malcolm was an anti-hero, like Oliver, even though he's the villain and Oliver's the hero. He believed what he was doing was right and was for the greater good, that destroying the Glades was what was best for the city. He was the hero in his story.
