Non-discerning viewers who miss Foyle must be rating this. It is weak. 2 episodes. Both have weak, weak writing. Once again, there are too many characters, some who are completely pointless. But they all end up having some dumb relationship with 2 or more of the other characters.

The "noir" experience is again like something just short of Blade Runner, without the point or the visuals to give it any worth.

And Swan's "secret problem" was one of the easiest ones to predict ... EVER. Come. On. People. Try Harder.

And once again, there is fundamental foolishness in the plot, incl the idea that such a race would not be postponed under those circumstances. Weak writing.

Too many characters, some of whom were totally pointless, including the daughter of the "kidnapped" guy. And that actress tried to take over the screen with her over-acting. "Why does everybody hate me?" she is crying and throwing herself on the ground. Yet none of it has any bearing on anything or even make much sense.

Too much damaged-goods psychology backstory of Jericho. Who cares? Daft writing. Awfully weak.

Also awfully weak: the writing around the kidnapper's phone calls & Jericho never really digging into "Who was that?". Also Jericho not smacking down the multiple people who said "We heard him die." with a "No! You heard a gunshot. Now grow a brain or go into another line of work."
