There is no doubt that Briarpatch is going along its Tarantino slow paced way.
It also introduces more colourful characters. In a lavish party for the mayor. Allegra meets newspaper mogul James Staghorne Sr (Ed Asner) who looks like a tough cookie and not to be messed around with.
San Bonifacio turns out to be more than a strange corrupt place where two police officers have been blown up.
My interest was piqued when another new character shows up late in the game. Clyde Brattle (Alan Cumming) is an arms dealer in trouble but still has the smile of a shark.
He takes Allegra for a ride and gives her a warning as to who not to trust.
The third episode expands the scope of the plot but not the pace.
