This show is really starting to drag. I mean I don't have a problem with complicated plots, especially when the acting is as first-rate as it is here, to say nothing of the colorful writing, a mix of Hemingway & Runyon with maybe a splash of the Bard here & there.
As I say, it doesn't bother me at all to have to follow multiple plot threads, but I start getting lost when a lot of crumbs get tossed in amongst the threads, and I have to say, sadly, in this episode the crumbs bury the threads.
Sorry, I care more about the gangsters & the gamblers than I do about an orphan boy or a horse farm run by convicts.
So if they could just wind this up with the same style & pizazz that began the season, then I'll wish for a second season.
