Shots Fired! Agent Down!
lavatch15 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In this fourth episode of the series, we have nearly reached the midpoint, and a major piece of the puzzle is unfolded in this program.

The evidence now points to Special Agent in Charge Adam Radford as the perp who set Emily up. The episode takes the form of a cat-and-mouse game with Emily as both the hunted and the hunter.

In this episode, Nick commits adultery with his first wife in her hotel room. But Em takes the occasion to escape arrest when she races out of the hotel, leaving a luckless Nick in the bathroom. He was tasked with bringing her in to be charged with murder. It is now that she plays the role of huntress.

Alice has lost patience with Nick. And she is unaware that he has committed adultery. Nick has also been suspended by Adam: Badge and gun, please! The dissolute Dr. Jack has now taking not only to the bottle but to an escort service. Em's main line of support is her dad the retired cop.

In a bold and daring move, Em kidnaps SA in Charge Adam Radford at the driving range, taking him to the same location of the Charleston Naval Yard where she was abducted six years earlier. Adam is now treated to a waterboarding experience. Adam confesses to being a crooked cop and on the take from the evil Harlow. But there is another mysterious figure who was responsible for the kidnapping and torture of Em. It was not Adam.

The key to mystery is the striking image of the "Bleeding Eye." But the eye is not a person; it is a place! As Detective Tommy Gibbs and Nick arrive at the naval yard, Emily hears them and leaves behind Adam, who is tied to a chair. Then, shots ring out! The mysterious figure has somehow followed Emily and Adam. Adam has been murdered. Tommy phones it in: Shots fired! Agent down! The Bleeding Eye sees all!

More Holes Than A Sieve

Decided to watch one more episode to give it a chance to get better but, if anything, the nonsensical plot lines and gaping holes just got worse.

Probably because someone deemed that more text is better.

It's getting worse, not better.

Emily is now so unbelievably guilty that she is asked to hand herself in, she absconds and instead goes after Adam Radford, who she believes was guilty of her kidnapping.

I am really trying to get into this series, and like it, the trouble is I can't stand the main character, I have no sympathy for Emily, and I should have, she's pretty monstrous, and seems to be lying her head off, I'm not even fully convinced that she was kidnapped.

I said previously that it was obvious the husband was going to land up in the sack with Emily, I picked around episode seven, but nope, they didn't have the originality to make it last that long, poor.

Ralph Ineson what a shame, the best actor thus far by a mile.

Some of the dumbest Detectives you'll see, 5/10.
