I'm also catching up with this season and I dunno how I feel about it, but I'm gonna keep watching the upcoming episodes...
IMO they should've started this season with Mike getting out of prison after completing his sentence.. but somehow I also wanted to see how Mike adapts to life in prison and realise the reason why he is in prison (I haven't seen anything that indicates him regretting his actions.. what he did was wrong) and move forward.. That would've been an interesting storyline... but with this whole "let's get Mike out of prison/Sutter/Kevin" storyline, I feel like they screwed up the whole thing...
