The episode was the end for me.

Neal's unrealistic bedside monologue to his daughter was enough to make my husband leave the room and quit the series. I decided to stick it out to the end of the episode, but the scene at the beach bar ended it for me. It was a dog's breakfast. There's NO WAY someone with Cruz's training and life experience would have been fooled by a wannabe date rapist, and there's NO WAY Joe would have lost sight of her. Points for the vengeance scene in the woods though.

As much as I've enjoyed Taylor Sheridan's other writing (Yellowstone, 1883, Tulsa King) with the exception of 1923 - I just can't take more of this series.

I don't know why i am still watching

Special operators are looking and behaving like a bunch of teenagers.

The dialogies that they exchange with each other are worse than high schoolers and are extremely silly. Throwing and breaking things, cursing at each other in every sentence they talk and the use of f words constantly made me think if the writers are from a mental asylum.

And then we have the extremely stereotypical teenager who unfortunately (fortunate for viewers) gets into car accident but survives (unfortunate for viewers). And then she is pregnant. But you have dad calmly addressing it as if she failed a test. Are American teengers really that dumb, arrogant as shown in these movies and series?

I am not sure who I want to punch more, the smug teenager, the dumb dad, know f all special ops, or the "strong woman" superpowered lead.

This show is an easy watch, it has that going for it, and in a time where there are almost no shows on TV this summer we need programming, so this is a good thing.

But it does not seem to know what it wants to be. Is it a show about these dangerous missions that are off the grid and that the government does not "endorse"? Is it about life on the homefront? Both? Or something else?

I guess some could argue that mashup is a good thing, but we're four episodes in and we want to know what we are going to watch week after week. Right now we really don't know and it is not like it is great entertainment we get.
