Love the show but not this episode

There is no Latvian mob and Latvians don't speak Russian but Latvian . If you want you can have Russian mob why change that to in Latvian and have them all be Russian ? And the Chernobyl connection lol 😂 as I said I usually love the show but this episode was very disrespectful.

Also the fact that people from Latvia are all prostitutes and gangsters was a bit far. When portraying small nations that have been oppressed for a long time and getting all facts wrong and showing that like they would be some sort of low end third world country I find that very disrespectful.

As I said normally I love this show but a bit of correct cultural respect goes a long way.

Trivia
While on stakeout, Korsak mentions a traffic stop involving drunk frat boys going to the "animal house". Bruce McGill played D-Day in National Lampoon's Animal House (1978).

Goofs
Maura identifies an isotope of iodine as I-29. There are 37 known isotopes of iodine, ranging from I-108 to I-144. An element's isotope number is equal to the total number of particles (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus. Since iodine has 53 protons in its nucleus, it cannot possibly have an isotope number of 29. What Maura meant to say was I-129.

Quotes
Vince Korsak: Job takes a toll.
Jane Rizzoli: But I wouldn't change a thing. I love being a cop.
Vince Korsak: Find a job you love, you never work a day in your life.
Jane Rizzoli: And they pay us!
Vince Korsak: Can you believe it?
