The girl in the box

[JasonSterling29 · 7/10 · 18 March 2020]

Is Eve a relative to the girl in the box? I have a funny feeling she could try and kill Malcolm's Mother.

Why so obvious

[sheva030 · 7/10 · 4 May 2020]

Dude, I new that there si something wrong with her character since the first time she was introduced. The show has so much potential, but they manage to make everything almost to easy and obvious

Love the series but must point out the continuity error

[rickforbes-59441 · 8/10 · 25 July 2021]

One of my pet hates is the wrong noise from the wrong motorbike(s). You know, when they show a v twin Ducati but dub the sound of a screaming Kawasaki inline 4 cylinder over it.

This was so much worse. The noisy bikes riding into the shop were Zero SR/Fs which are electric! (They are great, I have one) So there is no engine and no exhaust pipe and definitely no sound of revving a petrol bike.

Still love the series though.

Tribute to "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"

[artieautry · 10/10 · 18 March 2020]

I love how this episode evolves into an extremely short tribute to "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" cemetery scene where you have 4 (in this case for the scene, as opposed to 3 in the movie), all posed with guns cocked and aimed at each other trying to figure out whom will shoot first. The setup was nice, but the subtle nod to the movie was the images of just the 4 opponent's eyes, flashing back and forth, just like the movie. Subtle, yet awesome tribute to the legendary scene of the movie.

Awesome !

It keeps getting better and better with every episode.

MAJOR Continuation Error

[BluKnite65 · 6/10 · 27 March 2020]

Why the hell would the production staff change the model of Vijay's Porsche TWICE? Before Vijay and Bright were "kidnapped" Vijay was in a Porsche 928 (silver wheels, exposed headlights). After Vijay went back to the docks with the watches he got into a Porsche 944 (black wheels, pop-up headlights). Then Vijay runs down the gang leader, he's back in the 928!?! WTF!?! EPIC FAIL!!!

The Job

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 13 June 2021]

There are some grisly moments in this episode. A victim who survived a bullet to the head and is then operated on while she is still awake.

A good time for Malcolm to go in and interview the victim.

Then there is a Fast and Furious heist scene. A gang of motorcycle raiders carry out a precision jewellery robbery. However one victim is inexplicably left dead.

When it happens again Malcolm knows that one of the gang members has the taste for killing.

Malcolm also hooks up with an old school friend Vijay and they have a shared history as well as both went to work in law enforcement.

Vijay now works for an insurer and Malcolm knows he will try to cut a deal with the bad guys for the return of the stolen items.

It owes a little to movies such as the Reservoir Dogs standoff scene.

There is also an eerie final scene which alludes to the girl in the box.

A good episode with motorcycle gang. Vijay was just the right type of character with maybe shady motives. Dr Whitly still manipulating his family from his prison.
