Featured review
Bad accents & worse logic. Oh my.
I'll start with a positive: it took me half a second to recognize Zappa, and he was good. Better than Hedeya, for sure.
Now, the story. Oh my. You DEFINITELY have to not think about this one. The wild thing is it brings to a head something that I have laughed about over and over watching select episodes in S1 & S2. It is crazy to think Sonny can keep his undercover identity while waltzing around the city acting like a real cop day after day. Drug lords kill somebody? Sonny & Rico show up at the scene of the crime, over & over. Yet, nobody ever recognizes them. Oh. My.
In this episode, a woman has no trouble putting 2 & 2 together and figuring out Crockett = Burnett. Cover blown. But wait, the episode ends and life goes on ... nobody knows nothing.
I'd say MV jumped-the-shark, as most shows do sooner rather than later, but the crazy 50/50 undercover/day-to-day-cop thing was crazy from the beginning.
At least they chose some good singers/bands for the music in this one.
