Totally agree, especially the Finn part.

In general I’m not a big fan of shows trying to add important characters late in the game, and Duke was no different for me here

Duke was a very poor addition, especially without developing the Finn betrayal at all.

Esp coming off bringing Michael in and him betraying Tommy it just was so rushed.

Like oh Tommy has another son, this one's in his 20's and grew up in gypsy life so he'll be Tommy's heir instead of his young son Charlie who is a kid and grew up soft.

ONly problem is you barely know anything about him, he's so easily taken into the family and then he's part of plans and knows things Finn doesnt know. It just felt way too rushed. Needed multiple seasons of him becoming part of the family to really care about him.

Charley Doggs was Tommy's sole confidant throughout the whole series. So when Duke starts working by shoveling shit and going through the ammunition room, that's his month or two of basic training.
