    bad

    The episode could have been a good action one, but the writers made it to ridiculous, maybe they should get the writers from chicago PD or seal team to show them how to make the action believable. The acting was good, just the script let it down.

    bored

    After terrible season 4, first episode of season 5 really scared me, because Hondo is just not that exciting character to follow him 90% of screen time. Second episode was a bit better, but I really hope this series can get back to badass action sequences and focus on team instead of focusing on personal life of team members, especially because some of them have actually quite boring personal life, like Hondo and Deacon :D More exciting investigations, please! Don't mind the development of Street and Alonso romantic story though, just don't mess it up. Also, love Luca, I missed him in seasons 3 and 4 when he was away, I hope this doesn't happen again and also that he will not be staying in the office(

    Family

    Another expert episode; beautifully choreographed. And great to have the family back. And this UK viewer means "1great" with a capital "G". As I said in my review for episode 1, this is feature film level.

    Good episode!

    I really enjoyed watching this episode, I could way that there are some things that could have been better but it worth to watch.

    Recommend if you're a fan from SWAT series and their characters.

      Ar approx 33:39 you see the big bad trying to sneak up on hondo with his pistol held out in front of him. you get a good view of it and see that it is a 1911 style pistol and the hammer is not cocked. The gun will not fire like this as it is a single action only pistol.
