One of the best episodes until now

But still I gave 8. Liz can not act and so naive to suspect tom. So nonsense things.

In this episode, Lance Reddick who I know from "the wire" series was killed. I love his acting. It was shame he was gone.

We learned tom was chosen between lots of people and from berlin they said.

Final scene was wonderful. That girl was his daughter and it was nice flashback.

Also after ressler left reddington, reddington throwed snowball to the river. Those were nice scenes.

The flashback to his daughter was beyond moving

The little girl dancing looked just like she was his daughter. Perfect casting. It was insightful, moving and very innocent. The little dancer should have gotten credit and hopefully she will return in future flashbacks so we can see what makes Red tick. He was humanized in that scene and I didn't expect to be moved by her dance, but was drawn in magically. She was poised as his daughter would have been and he looked so affectionately proud that I felt bad when his moment in time ended. I also wanted more. It was beautifully shot and choreographed perfectly. That scene stole the show. i think that it balanced out the evil and violence in such a gentle way. The music overlay along with Red's narration of how to go on living with the loss actually made me want to hug my own children more. Bravo!!!

It's only a little review

I want only write that the end of this chapter seemed to me one of the best finals I've seen in my life .. and that I've seen many series ..

I take the words of another spectator:

The music overlay along with Red's narration of how to go on living with the loss actually made me want to hug my own children.

Beautiful

Retribution

[Hitchcoc · 10/10 · 7 November 2022]

Ressler is at the center of this one as everything affects him in some way. A former Japanese prisoner with incredible deadly skills forces the suicide of a man he abhors. He is determined to do away with a host of those he blames. Ressler loves Audrey and her connection to him gets her killed. So now it is all about revenge. Ressler also comes to know that a man whom he has considered his best friend, has betrayed him for money. The question becomes whether exacting revenge is worth throwing your life away. As a side note, there is a connection between Red and a ballerina. Also, we see that our boy Tom is a horrendous murder machine and Liz is still unaware.
