Countering stillbored, I like the new guy *because* he is obnoxious. I look forward to seeing how the show exploits this different energy.
On the other hand, I am still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor after the show's climax. This master criminal, surrounded by armed and armored police, pulls out his revolver in order to ... well, there's no finishing that, as there's no rational reason. I considered "death by cop," but he was acting defiant, not suicidal. Cause of death: suddenly stupid.
