I thought this episode showed improvement over the debut. The agents seem a bit more human with some depth of feeling and motivation. The plot objective of the week was straightforward, the new Manticore baddy intriguing. The action was tight and well photographed, especially the restaurant fight. It's apparent that neither lead is a skilled actor-combatant but the shot interchange covered their shortcomings and created the illusion of continuous fight movement.
The prolific swearing is not to my personal taste, it's also a cheap and lazy shortcut for portraying forcefulness in a character. The show has a very competent cast, give them a higher level of dialog to deliver.
