Just how many corrupt cops are there?
13 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
before watching the show I was getting REALLY tired of HR. Every episode they "take down" another 2-3 cops until this time again the WHOLE CITY was flooded with corrupt cops. Now there was ONE (!) checkpoint of HR we saw where they controlled cars. Why there? Is this supposed to be the ONLY way cars can take? And if not - how many checkpoints are there? And conclusively: How many corrupt cops? It just seems like a never ending stream of enemies. Very unbelievable.

The morgue scene: In every episode, Mr. Reese disarms an army of bad guys. Here, 2 corrupt no name-cops make him run away. Why? Just shoot them and... take their guns to have more ammo? Reese not doing what he ALWAYS does just seems totally odd and out of place.

The next thing that shocked me was the romantic scene between Carter and Reese. Why??? Mr. Reese, never even to flinch an eye when something bad happens, all of the sudden explodes with romantic feelings? Again, I didn't believe it.

Perhaps that's what unnerves me most about this series as a whole: No one ever seems to care emotionally. Everyone is always cool, no matter if a gun is hold to your head or to your friends head. It just seems like the characters already KNOW the plot and that they are succeeding anyway. It's like a session of pen and paper role-play gone horribly wrong.
