Another episode where Jamie and Eddie were given separate storylines. Obviously, I prefer to see them onscreen together, but it's great that they're both being allowed to have some individual focus. Although I'm looking forward to the next few episodes, during which I expect to have more of them together onscreen. Eddie's story took some time... Continue Reading →

While watching this episode it felt a little like we'd gone back in time. It had the same structure that was used for most episodes pre-season 9, with just three storylines.

The episode may be titled Naughty or Nice, but for Jamie and Eddie, it was a case of Domesticity and Danger. The episode managed to give a real sense of how they're dealing with the current work schedule, which mainly seems to revolve around providing each other with food (always a crucial part of their...

Also, Frank looks for a way to help his ex-partner Lenny Ross (Treat Williams) when his daughter is arrested; Jamie and Eddie go apartment hunting; and Erin faces off... Continue Reading →
The Real Deal was a great start to the new season, it really felt like they were drawing a line between how Jamie and Eddie's relationship was presented in season 9 and what they are planning for season 10. This was strongly underlined by Jamie's comment in the final scene - "Now we stop jabbing each... Continue Reading →
