With the move to Paramount+ the series has gotten grittier and better - until now.
While it's good that Jason finally confronts his TBI, after an aborted suicide attempt he goes off to be treated with psychedelics by a former US soldier who just happens to be in Columbia. While it's nice to see some old characters from the series during his trip, we're supposed to believe that this will rewire his brain. Yes, I know they're doing research on it, but it's all too convenient.
Meanwhile Sonny goes off and takes out drug gang members, steals their drugs and women, and goes on a bender partying. It takes Saint Clay to find him, sober him up, and then the two of them fight their way through the rest of the gang wanting revenge. It's just too much.
This episode had the feel of the second half of "Apocalypse Now" where they went far into the jungle away from command. Bravo without supervision on its Omega mission is falling apart and is dysfunctional, and yet we're supposed to believe that they can still take out a large covert Iranian nuclear bomb program being run in Venezuela.
The best part of this season was that it looked like the characters were permanently changing. The whole premise of the series is the personal collateral damage suffered by the best of us in defending our country. And yet with Jason's magic cure for TBI it looks like the series is going to put the team back together again like Humpty Dumpty just so we can see the further adventures of Bravo.
I hope the series can pull itself back from the edge.
