Greer's family plotline is boring. This isn't a "Cat's in the Cradle" situation. His son is old enough to understand that his dad being Deputy Director of the CIA means he can't drop everything to attend a ball game. I hate the trope that teens can't process the idea they aren't the center of the universe.
I did a hard eyeroll at the death of Miller, the former Director. The son of a gun died in front of his encrypted laptop and with his dying breath reached for the bible prominently positioned on his desk. No one thought that was a clue?  |
You put my thoughts Into words. I just can’t get into this season - it seems all over the place and slow at the same time. Normally I’d be complaining it’s too cowboy and not clever enough - this time it seems too clever by half. Enjoyed Silo way more than this… and tonight, not tv but movies: mission impossible (very good)
