    the lamest so far

    overall it's a pretty watchable series, not least because of the likable diverse team and the main character, for which the viewer is prepared to forgive a lot.

    However the current episode just went overboard in the degree of idiocy and preposterousness!!!

    Dialogue (particulary the exchange between chance and the wife - is brutally inane and plain unbelievable under the circumstances there both were in) and plot are disastrous,camera-work amateurish and, hence, general impression - awful.

    Clearly an odd man out so far - I mean there have already been poor ones but this piece "bested" or rather "worsted":) them all:((

    • Quotes

      Ames: Do you want to tell me why we're here?

      Guerrero: Nope.

      Bartender #2: Sorry, Guerrero, bring-your-daughter-to-drink day isn't until next month.

      Guerrero: Nice one, bro, real zinger. Reminds me of the joke I know about your brother. Carl, right? Drives a green hatchback. The punch line is he drives off a bridge. You want to hear it?

      Bartender #2: What do you want?

      Guerrero: Club soda. And, uh...

      Bartender #2: And what?

      Guerrero: And I can't believe I'm doing this. Open up a tab for her.

      [Ames starts grinning broadly]

      Guerrero: Stop smiling.
