Another plot implosion
21 November 2021
This is yet another example of a show that collapses at the end when the plot is revealed and it doesn't add up. How did anyone know Ryan had ordered pills from the pharmacy or which pharmacy he ordered them from?

There are other plot holes too. Ryan is a government witness who is being protected but yet all of the doors where he's staying are unlocked so anyone can walk in. Then Faber conveniently showed Joe his security setup right before Joe broke in to steal the file. It's unrealistic that he would even show Joe his security setup at all. And why did Christina go to a private detective to confess to a murder? Why didn't she go to the police?

On top of all of the plot problems, there's very little action except at the end.

This is a dud.
