Watched this as a rerun after missing it the first time. I believe this one's still ahead for the UK so spoiler warning.
Reese was awfully dumb in this ep. I was thinking "inside job" and "you're just going to believe her?" when he got shot by the inside guy and lied to by the girlfriend and I'm not a professionally paranoid special ops guy. Also, why's Snow going to tell Stanton and Reese to off each other when all that's likely to do (and what happens) is to have something go wrong and tip them off. You had the opportunity for complete surprise. Now you just have two live very dangerous people annoyed with you and that's never good.
Aside from these logical glitches, the show had a pretty good feel and I liked the back-storyline and, while I wasn't big on the armored car part of the foreground story, I thought Carter and Fusco got in some good stuff. Watching this and reflecting on the past eps I did see, vs. the current season's, I hope they don't lighten it up too much. Fusco's very believable as either a tough evil guy or an almost "jolly fat man". There's a darkness there that you don't get with him getting disarmed or shot in a "funny" way or by having dog humor. I mean, this is serious crap and we're dealing with some very bad people.
So I liked about 75% of this one. C+ or something.
