Nutzerkritik Kaka zur diesen Serie (80)
Die Gunst des Augenblicks (2017) (S02E06)
Excellent procedural. A wild speculative deal that doesn't quite work out as it should and, above all, an excellent courtroom performance.

Kanonenfutter (2017) (S02E07)
Sandicot and everything around it. It could have been a lot faster, but then we wouldn’t have 12 episodes and a world of trouble. Even so, it will very likely lead to a death spiral of desperate maneuvers.
()
Der Königsmacher (2017) (S02E08)
Jack Foley vs Bobby Axelrod – clash of titans.
()
Sic Transit Imperium (2017) (S02E09)
If Wags hadn't killed it with his fantastic speech at the party, from which the protagonist actually totally disappeared, this would have been a literally wasted episode.
()
Willkommen zu Hause (2017) (S02E10)
Axe confessing his inner feelings and troubles, problems in his marriage and revealing his true nature. Only Taylor can soften that in an interrogation. Good stuff before the finale.
()
Pizza mit Kaviar (2017) (S02E11)
The most polished and scripted episode of the entire series so far, though not the strongest emotionally. Ice-Juice showdown.
()
Am Abgrund (2017) (S02E12)
It ends as expected, the same way as the first season: the final conversation of two of the main characters, which essentially frames and sums up the entire season. Based on this outcome, the third season should offer a much broader narrative scope and grittier off-the-grid clashes. We’ll see.

Season 3 (2018) (S03)
The most crazed, theatrical and convoluted of the first three seasons. I liked the character development of Taylor and the cameo of John Malkovich in one of the key roles of the season. Overall, however, it's a bit too heavy-handed at times, and it slips a little into TV literalism and grittiness. Some of the screenwriting flourishes are borderline unbearable in places, but it's still quite smart and mostly well-acted entertainment with some incisive and interestingly delivered food for thought. Primarily the definition of who is actually the good guy and who is the bad guy.

Die Ritter der Tafelrunde (2018) (S03E01)
Quite a decisive step into the third season, with a lot of fundamental changes that are hidden "between" the seasons, with the viewer being forced to guess them sometimes. But why not? A penthouse is a better haven than a castle. The important thing is that the original group is still on the scene and in the mood, and there are new players coming in who will definitely have something to offer.

Die falsche Maria Gonzalez (2018) (S03E02)
What's annoying about unnecessary episodes like this is the fact that some of the twists and changes happen just sort of randomly, precisely the way one of the main characters needs. And, of course, how the writers need them in order to glue this colossus together and mix it into an ideal construct of everything key that the audience likes. But the ambitious will see through it and it doesn't taste quite as it should. It needs to be better.
()
Verwaiste Milliarden (2018) (S03E03)
For an episode it's excellent as expected. There are major changes, one of the characters flips under overwhelming pressure and an offer that can't be refused. Overall it's pumped up with enjoyable twists and thrilling shifts in the story.
()
Ein Grab in Manhattan (2018) (S03E04)
Two excellent highlights. One concerns a father and son who form a very interesting personality and intellectual tandem. The other is the reverse psychology regarding solar panels. And, for a change, a gala presentation of the opposing party.
()
Einer von uns (2018) (S03E05)
If there's anything to single out in this episode, it's Taylor's strange romance, where the viewer unfortunately sees more than is really necessary. Otherwise, it's a typical fifth episode that fills the otherwise exciting beginning and end of this excellent series with padding and a lot of unnecessary dialogue.
()
Der dritte Ortolan (2018) (S03E06)
I sincerely hope that the sixth episode is not a premature climax to the third season, although many indicators strongly suggest it. There are some superbly tuned situations, excellent Spyros, Connerty and the last minutes are good. Let’s hope they can keep the pace.
()
Irgendwer muss büßen (2018) (S03E07)
Complete victory in a very shaky and not very realistic way. It smacks a bit of cheap serial theatricality like those second rate shows on Hallmark, but even so, there are bright, really impressive authentic moments among the would-be elaborate acting.
()
Wir haben alle Narben (2018) (S03E08)
There's plenty of fuck-ups and shocking surprises to go around. The second half of the third season has a very decent pace so far.
()
Der sibirische Braunbär (2018) (S03E09)
John Malkovich as a Russian oligarch with unique looks and a rough accent. What else can you ask?
()
Männer mit Müttern (2018) (S03E10)
There's an interesting game of two future knock-outs going on. At stake are US-Russian relations and, of course, governmental ones. A battle of titans at the business and government level.
()
Die Geldspur (2018) (S03E11)
A bit of a charade and irony, throwing down the gauntlet to the wall street guys and other greedy portfolio managers collecting millions and it's still not enough. Telling, but after 40 minutes, a bit tiresome and overplayed.
()
Der Atem des Tigers (2018) (S03E12)
Basically, again the best of the entire season. A shocking move by Taylor, an appropriately rough Malkovich in a memorable cameo, and a checkmate by Rhoades. Prospectively, the four can offer an interesting combination of forces and other quality moves on the chessboard.
