This review would look into episodes 6-8. Um, to be honest, I liked the way plot has moved ahead. As expected the fight of brothers has had its consequences, albeit in a pretty silly manner. Sy too quite sadly, gets done in by clinical Mr. Varga. (Wait no one checked in on his poisoning , movements right before he reached the office et al? Guess they should have put Gloria on case) Mr. Wrench in an interesting cameo, in the action sequences between episodes 7 to first 20 minutes or so of episode 8. I also liked the Twin peaks- style bit with Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), more on that later. He prods on Nikki Swango to vengeance for what is right and good. Also, it seems the tech-averse Gloria (or is it Gloria-averse technology) does have some advantage, as Varga wasn't able to dig up anything on her. But then there were things which weren't as good, which is why I gave I'd rank these episodes about 8. But that can change with explanations in later episodes. For e.g. why did Varga's men attack Nikki? They had set her up pretty well. Even if she'd identify them or any related concern, they could have waited for more opportune time, rather than going all in, right in the police station, wouldn't that make it more suspicious? Made for a cool sequence though. Also, Widow Goldfarb remains a mystery. The mystical bits with Nikki and Yuri in the bowling alley were good, but I hope they don't over- do it and continue with the story. One thing I did like though, was the way the show dealt with what Truth is. So a bit of slide after a decent start, and some excellent stuff in the middle. Let's see how the last two episodes go.
