The domino starts to collapse
vincediep-9453127 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Everything from episode 1 was on point, the series made me engage into the story, every characters have their own characteristic with trouble and struggle in their live. Conspiracy above conspiracy, action and their way of story telling was very well. But this episode 6, their domino they tried to built from the beginning collapse when all the blame is on Sutherland head.

They made the evil side so powerful, the White House Chief of Staff, the VP, and maybe some more were in this gang, that no Secret Service and FBI agent, even Directors or the President know.

If Sutherland was the kidnapper, why he went to the White House? Why does he plan to do there, kidnap the President? Who let him permission to enter the White House? If someone follows the traces, all evidences would lead to Farr, how could she said she did not know of his action... If Farr in the gang, why did not the assassins kill Sutherland and Rose in the wood already, or maybe ambush them when they met Farr in the motel, no want would know.

Shocking revelations in this action packed episode.
Sleepin_Dragon20 December 2023
Peter needs ehe help of an old friend, and places Rose in his hands. Peter himself now becomes a target, after he and Rose unearth a shocking secret.

Best episode after the series opener, lots happening, lots of excitement and drama, plenty of meat on the bone to coin a phrase.

It's getting deeper and deeper, what initially seemed like just a routine killing, is now becoming something a lot deeper, a whole lot more challenging, right now it doesn't seem as though the good guys have a chance.

Rose is getting like Mystic Meg, she's right about everything, no secret service agent can hold a candle to her powers of genius.

That's one character I'm going to miss, talk about interesting, and that face!

8/10.

Extremely dangerous

I was right! Like i said in my review of the episode 2 Diane was the real threat there and im pretty happy to spot it so quick; it was a mislead but im kind of sad because it mean that the story is kind of predictable. So yeah Diane reveal that she is not really kind and will make Peter wanted and charge of a false accusation about the missing daughter. The actions scenes was there and it was pretty great: the car chase, the fight, Peter when he was trappe in the building. It was pretty intense and the couple killer have one left: the woman. So what will happen next: how Peter will clear his name and reveal the real face and intentions of Diane and about the whole conspiracy? I dont really know and that make things more interesting. Need to see more.

Impressive

Even though Rose with the log cracked me up, this was such a great episode. The stakes are high, the tension is immense. There is even a showdown between two key-characters, that's how good the pacing of this show is.

Netflix really surprised me with this one. It came literally out of nowhere. The acting is also pretty good - Eve Harlow yet again shines in her role. She is an underused actress, in my opinion.

I wonder where Maddie is. Episode 7 will answer this, I'm sure. Both story arcs are thrilling and interesting, which is rare in this genre. Can't wait for the last few episodes! Great binge.

Lots of Action
Hitchcoc10 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
If one can forget about how ridiculous the whole business at the White House is and Peter's inability to shoot the bad guy, there certainly is a lot going on. Once again, Farr is back and this time she is the progenitor. It was good to see that awful guy get his brains bashed in. For a while, I thought that his girlfriend would pull him out of the water and he would still be breathing. The Vice President, I believe his nickname is Dork, makes and impassioned speech trying to get his daughter back. He shows once again he has no good side. Naturally, all the blame is being put on the only two people who we know have nothing to do with this coup. But, again, lots of action in a quite forgettable series.

Let down
jordantogle25 March 2023
Everything from wpisode 1 was perfect but in this episode.... What kind of a special agent tries to bring an assassin to justice. Sutherland hesitated to shoot the assasin which gives him the opportunity to stab him. Idiocy. Hello! The guy is a professional assassin. Do you think he will just let himself be caught? He would kill himslef rather than be caught. Sutherland himself know that his superior, Farr betrayed him and is the real antagonist but he still wants to bring the killer to justice? I guess the screenwriter and director are losing it as the story gies deeper. From the beginning the show was more realistic until this episode. I hope it gets better on the next few more episodes left.

Hope it improves from here
touser20048 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As somebody has pointed out the show has been pretty successful until now .This episode is weak on a couple of counts. The escape from the White House is totally implausible and emerges just in time to save Rose Then he hesitates to kill the assassin when both their lives are at risk knowing they are now both on the run .Enjoyed so far but tying up loose ends is always the difficulty in these types of shows.

The difficulty is making it believable .How are they going to escape and investigate with the might of the White House working against them ?The vice President. Also comes across as incredibly unbelievable He knows he has been corrupt but tries to be aggressive with Farr who can out him.

Laughable

Warning: Spoilers
Peter has only friend, his bosom buddy Cisco of secondary ethnicity (that is already a clue of how expendable this character is). Regardless of his friend's safety Peter stashes Rosa's at Cisco's place rather than in the boat they're going to use later as their hiding place.

Then Peter marches into the White House to meet Farr, manages to uncover a conspiracy and thanks to the fact that a numeric keypad is used in plain sight of his hiding place, Peter manages once more to escape undetected and to reach Rose at a critical point. What are the chances?

Elsewhere, Arrington who got the VP daughter kidnapped is telling off her colleague who has to apologise and reassure her she's the boss. Talk about appeasing an over inflated ego.

Just like the elderly white lady of a previous episode was expendable, because old and white, another character gets eliminated without Rose and Peter looking in the least distressed for causing the assassinations of yet another of their allies. I am bailing out, even if I got some laughs out of the idiotic dialogues and development.

Impossible screw-ups
teroden18 July 2023
This episode is so messed up it made me angry. First of all, there are so many diversions from the plot to emphasize and demonstrate how today's strong woman takes charge and bosses around all the incompetent males! Unnecessary. Silly. Not believable. Situations where the reality would be that she'd get the s*** slapped out of her, and everyone would applaud. Strong and obnoxious are not the same thing. You got that, Mr Screenwriter? The killing of the hit man takes so long because Peter doesn't want to hurt the dude, I had time to take a pee break, while Rose and Pete send the terrorist to his great reward. That whole bungled scene is not realistic or believable. There's more, but you get the picture. Silly, agenda driven script which creates an unbelievable plot.
