It would be a great show without the Sally character
11 July 2022
It's an odd mix. Many dramatic and comedic scenes intertwined but sometimes the flow suffers. It's a show about redemption that is always just one step away. I'm a big fan of the general concept (hitman that wants af fresh start). The Sally character stifles the show and sucks the life out of every scene. Just expect in her scenes that everything is about her getting what she needs. The supporting work is exceptional. Winkler is amazing as are Root and Carrigan as Noho Hank. Actually, It could have been great without the entire Sally character. I'm not trying to dismiss the straight forward delivery of abusive relationships but it seems awkward at times when only 20 seconds after a prank time laugh. The Sally role is exhausting to watch as it's painfully predictable. Any time something doesn't go her way, there will be 4 minutes of ranting, that are completed wasted on me. Thank goodness for the other storylines.
