An excellent episode, but not a great plot conclusion

I've got to admit, this episode got everything Banshee brings to the table, a good dose of violence and redemption mixed with a good plot twist to move the story forward.

As I really enjoyed the episode to give it a 10, I still believe it's open for criticism. I knew Job just wouldn't stay out of the game for a long time, but they resumed a plot that should be the focus of an entire season and blended in only five episodes (as they're started to develop Hood and Job's acquainted past on 3x09).

They made a big mistake on Hood's redemption against Dalton and now they repeated the same mistake with Job, both the mercs from past and present deserved to have a better conclusion, maybe something on the same level or at least close to what Chayton got.

Moving on, the plot twist is not the newest thing to ever happen on TV, as I think at this point nobody believes Hood is the serial killer, but it's interesting to see where it all leads, especially when it comes to Brock and Hood's relationship.

I really like Bunker's character, he's receiving some nice development so far, but the whole Nazi's storyline seems to be going nowhere, and I wouldn't mind if it was concluded by now to keep the mercs story alive for at least one or two episodes.

I also feel Proctor doesn't have much to do since last season, every year they feed the character something new and it never goes nowhere to a point I believe they should've kept Longshadow alive until Season 3.

The serial killer is a big f'n mystery to me, as I believe it could be anyone at this point, but mostly not someone who already showed up, I'm almost sure that maybe he has an accomplice who's already be shown on screen.

Overall a good and loyal episode to Banshee, but it didn't do a lot of wonders to a story that feels rushed, this show definitely needed a longer season, or even one or two more, it really is a shame that it's about to end.

Job is getting another chance

They sacrificed all the heist money to get Job back, however I don't like how easily they get him back. Honestly they could of made this season much more grittier and darker, killing most of the pieces off as to make Hood identity suffer and get the Banshee town stigma. Bunker story is progressing but I don't find it very entertaining, the nazi TV trope has been used timelessly all over again and his brother is a big pussy and I don't think they got the proper person to play that role. Kurt's storyline leads nowhere to a dead end. I find that corrupt officer Cruz more appealing, but they don't use her at all.
