4/10
Worst writing, directing and acting.
Top_Dawg_Critic27 November 2019
The episode was a disgraceful joke. Seems like minimal effort on the acting - especially Tolman, who was the worst in this episode, lazy writing getting more riddled with plot holes, and cheesy dialogue - especially between the very unconvincing FBI agent and Jo. Can they not cast a character/actor that actually fits their role - and acts it? The only convincing ones are Terry O'Quinn and the adorable Alexa Swinton as Piper. Why can't they stick with at least one of the writers being a constant? What was the point of the scene with the expensive sound system? Just unnecessary filler. This episode may as well have been a 3-4 minute movie trailer. It was so predictable, minus the ending twist, of which seemed to have been written in so randomly and picked out of a hat, it shows the inexperience of the writers. Then there's the directing - Jessica Lowrey failed to direct her cast properly. I'm losing more and more interest to the point of getting annoyed with the writers and directors even more after each episode. What started off very interesting, entertaining, suspenseful and engaging, is turning out to be stale, boring and predictable. It's a generous 4/10 from me, all going to Piper.

WHY ?
joecorrea-9095821 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Why ? Just why do these producers/writers constantly show NYPD on Long Island. Anyone who lives or has lived on Long Island KNOWS NYPD and FDNY have ZERO to do with Long Island. In the scene at the burned building you have NYPD and FDNY. Was this fire in NYC ? And if so, why would a small town police chief and officer show up? It's over a 2 hour drive. If the fire was in Southhold then it would be Chief Evans jurisdiction or the Suffolk County PD. PLEASE STOP bringing in NYPD to crime scenes on LI. Get new cars or paint your old ones to look like SCPD.
