That family dinner was a great way to recognise the significance of this episode. "Kiss me; I'm Irish!" Frank and the 1PP team provided an engaging follow up to USA Today (so rare to see a 'previously on'). It was reassuring to see them all acknowledging the mistakes they made. Adding depth to Reddick ensured the return... Continue Reading →

The arc of Jamie's story was similar to On The Arm, but without becoming personal. It was a great example of Jamie's empathy that he wouldn't let the issue go.

Also, Eddie and Badillo track down the culprits behind the theft of valuable rare works from a celebrated bookstore; Jamie begrudgingly joins Henry as he looks... Continue Reading →
The one shared moment for Jamie and Eddie makes it feel like they're the only optimists in the family. Which clearly had negative consequences for Erin. Considering what happened in Erin and Anthony's final scene have to wonder whether this will be something we see signs of in the next episode or if they'll have... Continue Reading →
