Some things too Unrealistic
kdupes-11 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Emma thinks Stroh is in town and has a protective detail, yet she goes out back at dark, swimming alone. > That is stupid b/c detail should have been watching her. And then Philip Stroh in a head to toe, light blue diving suit, goggles, tank, etc, where does one find these colored items ?? It's all slightly over the top, and hard to swallow.

Let Me Tell What I Mean Detective Nolan

Warning: Spoilers
Raydor's funeral, Provenza's eulogy to his boss and the proverbial murder set the stage for the final showdown with Mr. Stroh but not until he kills people from his past, recent contacts and long-ago persons. Paying particular attention to Stroh's methods of operating is indeed intriguing and worth watching the closing episodes to an above average crime drama. Detective Paige cautions Lt. Provenza at the church steps immediately after the funeral that Stroh has been seen in Los Angeles.

D.D.A. Emma Rios is murdered in her swimming pool by Stroh hiding at the deep end in a diving-wetsuit. Rios had been a prominent member of the legal team out to get Phillip Stroh and having appeared in eighteen episodes of the series. Stroh's assistant disguises himself as the neighbor boy acting to steal identities from the officers when he offers some data for the case. Worth noting is his face is remembered later a collaborator in Stroh's nasty activities.

Jim Bechtel is murdered in his home by Stroh having been married to Phillip's mother with Detectives Sykes and Paige discovering the body when ordered to do a welfare check on Bechtel by Provenza as the search for leads to find Stroh hastens.

Worth noting is the low count of guest actors with this part one of four, far more officers than anybody else; far less Rusty and no Gus. Rusty does get his revolver from Sharon's video message, worth noting also for part four. An acceptable episode to begin the final search for the horrible Phillip Stroh with accomplice Dylan.
