My issue with this show is the same issue I have with the Berlin plot; the writers know how to build up a reasonably interesting plot but don't know how to finish it. Here, after spending 4 to 5 episodes building it up, the justice department comes in and settles it, making the build up sort of pointless. Most of the first season was spent building up Berlin as some amazing mastermind criminal, at least Red's equal, only to end it with an actor with a vague European Eastern accent who seems about as threatening as the guy I buy my morning paper from who is out looking for revenge for the death of a daughter who isn't dead. The writers really blew it, just imagine if Berlin really was Red's equal and the cat and mouse game continued. We could have a second actor chewing scenery with long parables. It would be awesome!
