I agree with CBS needing to do better. They were greenlit for a 2nd season. However Chris Noth is apparently going to be on the xes and the city reboot which means he may not appear in the 2nd season.

They better stop playing before they find out how she gives it up.

That little girl is bold, but I like that she doesn't want to recant her witness statement. She was a genuine friend to Jason. I don't know why Robin is lying to her daughter about knowing Det. Dante. She already seen some of the file on his desk. Robin should know her child is clever.

I have this gut feeling I'll be screaming "Noooooo" at the top of my lungs tonight at the end of the episode.

They conduct too much business on the phone. I don't trust discussing anything that can incriminate me. Especially with an @sshole like Dante. I don't trust him having a change of heart.

Great episode! Too short, but I am content that it will be a second season. I will continue to support!

I wonder where they'll go with Robin telling Delilah what she actually does for a living. I'm thinking she'll tell her, but not the entire truth. I don't know how she'll swing that, but I'm hoping if the writers go down this route that we'll finally get her entire background with the CIA and that includes the situation in which she decided to leave for good. And writers, please for the love of God show that via a flashback because having her just explain it won't hit the same as actually seeing it.

I’m hoping it will make Delilah less defiant. Otherwise, telling her doesn’t make sense if it will increase her attitude. And I could careless for 3-5 full on episodes of Delilah with the cold shoulder and yelling. Hopefully this will make Robin’s job much easier if everyone knows.

Lord Jesus, please let Delilah's ass not be more defiant than she was in the beginning of the season. AMEN! She's been surprisingly pleasant the last 2-4 episodes of the season. We don't need beginning of season 1 Delilah again. Never again!

Now why did I think this whole time that Marcus' first name was actually Dante? Why this ninja got two first names? They couldn't have named him Dante Jones? Or Dante Jackson? Or Marcus Hall? Or something like that? :cautious: :arrogant

Here's my thing: If they don't want people comparing this one to the Denzel franchise, they need to stop setting themselves up.

Last month the Denzel franchise began trending on Google and gaining popularity out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Some say because viewers were deciding that the Denzel version was the better version. Which I don't think is a fair fight, because you can get away with alot more in an R-rated movie than you can with a primetime network drama.

But in the season finale they directly took the sit-down showdown at the restaurant table with a Russian bad guy directly from the first movie with Denzel, and it if course pales in comparison to the original for the reasons I said before. And also because I don't feel Queen is as good a thespian as Denzel. But they didn't need to do that scene, they could have conjured their own ballgame.

I liked Delilah confronting Robyn. But the episode was pretty underwhelming for me. I might rewatch it as I wasn't feeling well at the time.

I'd give the first season. 7/10. That's rounding up.

The production value is high and they've had some good episodes but they've also had weak episodes and too many weak threads.

Hopefully everything is better next season including the fight choreography.

I also think it's unfortunate we probably won't see Chris Month's character at all. During their last encounter things ended on a bad note. It would be a shame if that became just another loose thread that didn't get pursued.

I'd also like to see flashbacks of previous missions especially when she's been described so many times as the best of the best.

As for Dante, seemed like a convenient conversation and he can't really be trusted. And since she's exposed because of him I'd expect Robyn to be more careful around him.

I'd give this season 6.5-7/10 myself and for the same reasons. I wasn't mad that they didn't show her past right out the gate from the very first episode. Personally I think that would have been too much, but I at least expected them to show some of her past as this season progressed. And that's really why I gave it the rating I have. The other being the fight scenes as well. But that's not why I took off from my overall score really. It was only a small reason.
