Orange: 3 Weeks Before the Heist

[Meredith Quill]

Quote

Weeks before the heist, the squad hits a few obstacles as the FBI closes in on Ava and Bob copes with an injury. Agent Nazan seizes an opportunity.

Bob is the worst and Judy isn’t much better. If there isn’t some surprise twist justifying why he is involved none of this shit makes any sense.

Ava's blond wig was one of the worst I have ever seen.  All that money and she couldn't buy a wig that doesn't looked like a bleached muskox?  

Bob continues to be the worst, and Judy inexplicably continues to stay with him. She is incredibly smart and talented.  Are we supposed to think that she feels sorry for him so she stays even when it seems like he could physically hurt her at any moment?   Or is the D just that damn good? 

I hate the trope of the agent who is an addict and in a custody battle.  Then we add in getting busy with a coworker in offices that are all glass.  I will watch this to the end but it does feel like they are throwing in trope after trope to get to enough episodes.

More unrelentingly LOUD and obnoxious music.  I'm having to use my mute button way too much.  Now it's just automatic when Bob is onscreen flapping his gums.

I knew Ava was a rat, of course she gives in.  I did like her line about Abassi not having custody of her kid, that was a sharp cut.  I'm really hoping Leo sees through her "return" and has a backup. 

And that FBI bitch should have been canned as soon as she was busted.  Her little fan boy is about to flush his own career down the toilet, but all he wants is to get in Abassi's pants.  What an idiot.  They are simultaneous giving these Feds way too much credit and making them look like morons. 

Regardless, I'm still digging the series.  It's the freshest idea to come to the streaming sites in a while.

Must be, they’re constantly at it!

I assume Ava is a triple-crosser and that she agreed to help the Feds and then will turn on them. My thing is, once i got my nanny back, I would send her somewhere safe from ICE and then just lie to the Feds. They already have her, so she can feed them false information.

Bob is terrible. I don't get why Stan wants Judy. She obviously has dubious taste in men. Not worth it. Also, does Stan remind anyone of Jack Quaid (Boys)?

This show is getting good but the timing is weird. We are three weeks before the heist and they are just selling their loot not to get the cash they need, renting out the staging area, getting a car and mapping out the building. It seems like all of that stuff should have been done in the 6 week before episode at least. 

Although the little chips that mapped the whole plumbing system (even areas it didn't go into) was pretty cool. In my job I did mechanical design for buildings and something like that would have been super useful.

Adding the agent was an interesting twist, although the guy who was into her was super numbly which was annoying.
