I mean if you are shooting gas from a helicopter into a penthouse apartment, at that point maybe just use knockout gas? Then you wouldn't risk your lifes and the lifes of the people you want to take alive for interrogation or you know, the guy activating a nuke............

And I really liked the episode up until that point...

But after the unnecessary action scene it was pretty fun again, so I'll keep on watching.

I was more bothered by having Ava enter the room through the door on the opposite side when everybody was shooting in that direction. Then the other part that bothered me was their boss asking if they're impaired when he's the one that gave Ava a bottle of alcohol and told her to drink it.

But aside from those 2 minor parts I liked it. It was kind of nice seeing people enjoying a party and that not causing some major issue.

Kudos to this show for actually showing people using condoms when having unplanned sex.

Oh, wow.  This show is so bad.  So very very bad.  I'm all for a not realistic portrayal of secret counter-terrorism agents.  But the writing is horrible, even for the tongue in cheek, no-holds-barred on sex/language/etc. type of show.  And the acting is just awful, as if every character is simply reading lines off of cue cards.  I couldn't even make it through the first episode, and I watch a lot of bad tv.

I’m 9 minutes, 50 seconds in and this is a dumb show. Not like Alias or Chuck or Blacklist or other, similar shows with fun and intelligence. Is the buyer an evil dentist? Also, watching the team walk along the strip looked like a DEI leader’s wet dream. Dumb can still be fun, I’ll watch the whole ep and decide. Not looking good, tho.

UPDATE: Nope, made it 25 minutes in, way too dumb and predictable. Out.
