Carte Blanche (#2.4)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 21 October 2016]

This was a pretty great episode. It was so twisted and so much was going on.

One thing I just didn't get was the guy who said he was burying animals. Was he indeed doing it or was there an actual crime happening? I don't know, but I guess it is not important in the future anyways.

The story with Vic going undercover was of course my favorite one. So much went on. I loved the scene in that club where we think that something may happen to Shane now but he gets the upper hand.

So did Danni do something wrong with those muslims? I have a feeling this will go on and it seemed like Danni felt guilty about something. I just hope she will win!.

Poor Vic is out of the house now. Wonder how this will go on, and if "people across the street" will end up being important.

Vic and Shane focused episode

[michaelchikliscares · 8/10 · 14 August 2019]

This is the very episode where Vic takes interest in the armenian mob and them money laundring with incoming trains. While the other story lines take a backseat the focus is on Vic and Shane. I always enjoy Vic and Shane working together and getting into hot zone. I like how Vic just walks in commonly to a victim that was just shot in the head , quote me or not but '' Who's the dead guy '' , that made me laugh so hard. This is also an episode that already introduce us Taylor Orrz , the guy is Vic unofficial street informant but always makes me laugh. Vic is a guy to hold a strike over his head until the day of dawn.

When you first saw this episode you were probably in fear of what is gonna happen with Shane. Initially it was the same for me. In a rewatch it doesn't impact me that much.

Memorable moments -

Shane getting his police badge stolen in Mexico, episode ( Quick Fix ) was a great flashback how writers were sneaky to intercept it back to one of the episodes.

Acaveda implying if Vic could go undercover as a dirty cop , what a straight burn , but Vic takes it as a compliment.

Vic letting go of the armenian moneylaundering , instead to plan to RIP them off !

Acaveda threatening to keep his promise and replace Shane.

Alex Esnik , what a mobster ! Straight to the point with Vic !

Cons - Lemansky and Ronnie missing out all this plot !
