While Proctor's meat business was temporarily offline (it was blown up in one of TV's best explosions) a competitor stepped in to serve Proctor's Philadelphia customers. Now that Proctor is back, he wants his Philly clients back. The competitor (the great Michael Harding) says no, fueled on by his smartass son. That doesn't sit well with Proctor and Rebecca (his newest intern) .. and well, you can guess the rest. A pity to only get a few seconds of Harding, as he is a terrific actor (Must See TV: "The Devil All the Time" where he plays the Reverend).
This episode introduces another super-good-actor, namely Tom Pelphrey (known for his great comedic work) as a former, disillusioned neo-Nazi who wants a law enforcement gig.
This show, and this episode, are well-acted and the direction and fight scenes are incredibly competent, click and ... artistic. The choreography and blocking that goes into every scene is so impressive (including pretty original sex scenes).
As the show goes more over the top, it could get to be too much, but the story logic (thanks to good story developers and writers), it really works. And of course, where else do you go when things get violent. More violence, but this show never ceases to get creative in how it's executed.
Really looking forward to how the Colonel's role plays out (Carrie's new love interest) aptly played by award-winning actor Langley Kirkwood (who is also a bonafide Ironman competitor). This show knows how to cast good people that's for sure.
