3) This is not unique to this show as it is an awful trope but it always bothers the hell out of me - the point blank shotgun blast to the chest that hits nothing but the body armor and leaves Hardy there lying still with no pain or shortness of breath


Why, oh why didn't he go for the double tap and finish Hardy off?

I'm caught up with the show now, so here's this week's summary.
quote:


Episode 9: Kill the Messenger
After the latest discovery, Ryan and the new killer (star of the show IMO) are both led back to Joe ( ) for different reasons; Mike and Max (her boyfriend won't be pleased) search for a stolen clue; Mark comes to a surprising decision (please be killing himself, please be killing himself).

My beef is growing with this part...the girl serial killer, who just killed a guy, gets frightened to death when the homo Mark has a knife held to her.
Or, whenever he talks to her in general, for that matter.

And this new killer Theo is everywhere, all the time man. Like Santa Claus.

Oh, and...this part really made me shake my head...Mark somehow tracked this killer girl down in Atlantic City, and then to that beach house? Come on, man.

Mark is literally the worst. And now it's Luke, but it isn't, but he still thinks he is, until he is touched or something. Yeah.

I still don't understand why her and her now dead husband needed Mark in the first place

His switching the traffic signals and causing the accident was freaking hilarious

Also, the NYPD having the time to track down a reported stolen vehicle...and find it.....in New York City. Brilliant

What's the point of Theo having a burner phone if he doesn't, you know, burn it?

I think it had something to do with Strauss telling them/making them to...or something even more convoluted/stupid.

True. I'm sure that happens everyday.
"Oh look! There's that one car that was reported stolen in a city of 7 million!"

You bring up probably the stupidest McGuffinest part of last night...
"Oh, you left your ski mask in the murder scene? Oh, ok, don't worry about it dude, I'll go back in myself and get it, while giving you ample time to make a stupid pointless phone call to your ex-wife, in which the FBI traces, yet there's no foreseeable payoff nor damage to me."

I mean if someone just told me that I was Neo from The Matrix I would probably text a few people

Good news: next week it looks like Joe takes an entire maximum security prison hostage with some sunglasses

Yes! Thank you, I forgot about that.

Again...once yet again. A known serial killer, and escapee, is allowed a chance to escape.
No security protocols for him in case of such an event, like him getting a pair of sunglasses.

Or maybe searching him after he just killed an armed guard with his bare hands. No chance he could have taken anything off of him right?

Right. Nope. No chance.

Wait, no mention of the boyfriend just walking by and hearing the discussion of the tracked laptop?

Or that they were about to zoom in even further to where it would show exactly where in the building it was before he smashed it?

Is the boyfriend a bad guy? I don't get him at all.

He's a good guy whose girlfriend cheated on him and he found out by finding the laptop with the porn feed on it of her boning Mike which he then took because reasons and kept occasionally spying on her without confronting her about it and now he can't because then he would be outed as having taken evidence from the crime scene but he is still with her for some unknown reason
