The Reluctant Taxidermist

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 27 March 2018]

This was Marius at his best, pretending to be a taxidermist and trying to pull off a heist at a casino. The season has been good, even if it has been missing something, and if these last few episodes are about finding a way to pull this off then I am on board.

Enjoyable hour here tonight.

It's GOING To Be On You!!!

So Pete finds out the money is hidden in a stuffed buffalo.

He goes to get the money, Posing as a taxidermist he stages a great con to get at the buffalo. +1 Star

Maggie shows up and just about ruins it all. And she brings Frank! And then, REAL PETE shows up!!! LOL that will throw a wrench in it! +1 Star.

Marius best performance as comedian

Never laughed so much while watching this weird story with an unexpected twist. Marius is excellent, playing helpful taxidermist on vacation with his new wife. All that talk about egg-laying larvae's attack on animal's aging fur, LOL! Funny and entertaining! Then Marius gets a screw loose while searching together with Maggie for new solutions. Of course it's mission impossible, but after all they'll find a nutty way to resolve an emerging problem. But only for a moment. As always, in this wonderful TV-show, everything goes wrong and Marius, as usually, is forced to improvise, trying to clean a huge mess. You can also learn that's a difference between American bison end African buffalo if you didn't know it before.

So many plot holes...

This show is kind of entertaining and I keep watching it, but the plot holes are are big as underground coal mines. To mention but a few:

• Luka cannot retrieve the cash because the FBI in on him, so Marius proposes he get it with Maggie. BUT they're also under surveillance by the FBI. In fact, they were already caught twice...

• Marius is going to open the buffalo belly and then do what with the cash? How is he supposed to carry the cash out without anybody noticing? Remember, paper is VERY HEAVY... Anyway, something is fishy about this buffalo business, starting form how did Maggie close the buffalo after sticking the money into it? I don't buy it.

• What's the role of Gina, except standing around and nodding to everything Marius says? He could have played his game alone, since Gina is not going to be much help carrying bags of very heavy paper.

• Would Frank really allow Maggie and Marius to split into different directions after what happened?

Apart for super stupid decisions by everybody, some parts are just dragging on and are a politically correct tack-on, like the pregnant criminal who "bonds" with Julia over children, only to open yet another chapter about her not being "really" a criminal but just a poor mother-to-be who needs protection from the bad men. Yawn...

And don't even get me started with Maggie and Carly (the two most annoying characters in the show) again "bonding" over a screwdriver. Seriously, that BS over the screwdriver was idiotic. All that talk was superfluous, just too many female characters "bonding" and breaking the rhythm.
