Trivia
The episode title, "Bread and Circuses", is a term used in politics to describe a leader who gains the support of the general public, not through means of good public service or policy but by either distracting them and/or serving only their base, immediate needs. For instance the group of people Chandler has infiltrated use handing out food (bread) in exchange for them fighting one another for entertainment (circuses) which in turn keeps them distracted from noticing the nefarious and illegal activities that they are up to.

The least inspired episode of season 4 so far, "Bread and Circuses" has a mini-coliseum fighting arena, some suspect acting and a plot that goes in circles to end... well, you know the shape of a circle.
Chandler continues his career as a boxer, with a side job as a spy. It makes no sense, but, well, OK, let's accept it. The Nathan James's crew searches for the seeds, but fails miserable in its job. Of course, the bad guys get the seeds and, well... they are going to sell them. Anyone can infer to whom are they planning to sell the seeds.
The episode is, to put it simply, boring. The fights are tiresome after three episodes of them, Chandler is not in so great a shape as to be invincible, and his arc makes no much sense (in particular, his boss's love for him). And the search of the seeds lacks energy and it is not gripping enough. It is just an excuse for ho-hum shootings, with little intensity or passion in the proceedings. Let's see how this continues, but without heart, bread and circuses will not be enough to keep the viewer's interest.
