The wiretap provides useful information in conjunction with witness information.
This is another very strong episode with decent plot development and memorable character moments.
There is a satisfying main event to this episode that feels quite rewarding given the subject matter and the time already put into watching the details of a police investigation slowly unfold. Tied into it are scenes that shock and entertain.
A strong theme in a number of scenes involves the rules (or codes) in place that govern behaviour. This is cleverly written into numerous portrayals of characters who are shown to live by a code, enforce a code, go against a code, or pressure others to break a code. We also see the sad consequences to people when moral codes have been broken. One short scene in particular is heartbreakingly sad.
It also entertains in several great moments of character humour. Madam LaRue, Batman and Robin, the fundraiser event, and one epic exchange of drunken banter help lift the spirits in a show with such stark realities on display.
As ever all the performances are fantastic, with Michael K Williams, Dominic West, Wendell Pierce, Andre Royo and Lance Reddick standing out for me.
The production values are great as ever, with the camera, sound, and editing all telling the story in a cinematic way.
