Disappointing
zmos9927 April 2020
Disappointing. I really like the show. It's got clever writing, interesting , and good performances. That's why I was so disappointed by this particular episode. It fell head long into the embarrassing Hollywood trope of "evil big business". What at first seems to be an innocent young archaeologist digging for some old video games quickly turns into a diabolical plot by an evil land developer who murders his tenants.

I'm sure it's difficult to invent interesting plots week after week. But vilifying hard-working business people makes the show look more like a 19th century melodrama. What's next? A damsel in distress tied to the railroad tracks while the bad guy twirls his mustache?

Elementary is better than that.
