Blowback (#1.5)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 12 August 2016]

This was a pretty great episode. A lot of action and story developments which make one wonder what is next. The whole looking for the truck and who will find it first was pretty well done.

Julien now witnessed Vic and his guys taking drugs from the crime scene I am actually surprised he told it to David Claudette said he should ask himself if the crime committed was worth it. I thought he would just let it go as it was just drugs. Wonder if this means that Julien will be out soon as well.

I like the idea that he is gay and that religious. If the character stays longer hope they can develop it better.

And Vic and Danni making out in the end! That was also cool

A perfect episode for The Strike team ensemble

This is a perfect episode for the Strike team. This is where Vic Mackey and David Acaveda characters get to compete against each other. Acaveda wanting to bust Vic over his corrupt actions. This time around Julien sees something he should not be seeing. Mackey and Lemansky and Shane packing cocaine for Rondell back in the basement of apartment unit. Shane being complete trashfire in a good way that he ends up losing the drugs via carjackers for spare parts , that being the snowball of the plot. See what happens in the end cause this episode ended up being my second favorite after the Pilot episode.

Fun stuff: This episode introducing us a villain Margos Dezerian , him taunting Danny Sofer saying '' Delicious feet '' , Dutch translating that to her , Shane getting laid and losing the drugs , Vic seeing his reflection in the bathroom , Shane talking about high fat in those cookies Lemansky eats, armenians speaking armenian when Vic quotes it himself , Margos snapping a persons neck in the cage ( beyond creepy and badass ) , Vic tipping the schoolboy for armenian translation

I think there was not even a single lowpoint in this episode, just the Julien and his sexuality plot is quite dated.

This episode also packs quite amazing music tracks, great choices !
