Twisty plot and complex characters. Season three is great so far.
To the Linney haters, she is one of the most respected actors in the US. She has 4 Emmy Awards, 2 Golden Globes, 3 Oscar nominations and 4 Tony Award nominations. Plenty of mediocre actors have won an award or two, but this many is never a fluke.
Some of you may find her or her character annoying, but she is giving a great performance, period.

My distaste for Laura Linney off-screen and her character on-screen grows with each passing episode.
Wendy this season, so far mind you, grew from the usual nuisance she is/always was to an outright unmitigated disaster and arguably the most destructive force on the show.
Her bad decision-making steers Marty from one tight spot into another and it is he who pays the price for her foolish actions. She's become so insufferable that it pains me, each time they want me to feel sorry for her... like when she has her non-chalant conversations about nothing with Charlotte asking each other a 100 times 'if they're ok'. This is especially infuriating when we're forced to watch her as she hangs on her expensive wine glass plotting against diligently-working Marty, sitting in her expensive house in her expensive clothes contemplating life while he's thrown in a hole to rot - for her illusions of grandeur because apparently 'she wants it all'.
Her character is just beyond unlikable at this point and frankly I'm beginning to think Marty is too well-mannered to keep silently dealing with her issues.
I'm just hoping he'll lose his temper at her at some point. My biggest hope is that the writers find the courage to write her off somehow this season. It would honestly increase my enjoyment of this show so much not to have to suffer intolerable fits of rage each time I see Laura Linney on screen.
Jesus, I can't stand her character so much. And her for always playing such characters. I swear she's being type-cast as the 'Femme fatale' in Hollywood by now.

This show is great. Another user seems to let his emotions get away when it comes to a specific actress. His reviews make no sense. Don't listen to someone who lets their emotions and hate of an actress get in the way of actually reviewing and enjoying a a show.

But I actually find it funny how so many people complaining about different characters, I've sees 1 person hate on Ben another on Ruth and about 3 people complaining about Wendy and what I find funny is non of those characters come close to being as annoying as Skyler from breaking bad. The only bad thing about this episode was the fact the kids didn't get upset there dad got kidnapped but apart from that this episode is pretty perfect

The only thing that bothers me is Laura Lenny's poor acting and performance. I dont like her reactions and i really think shes so bad but the other actors good performance covers for her. Everything else was fine though.

Seriously, an entire episode coz Marty was spying on his wife, so tough guy goes through all the trouble to abduct him to Mexico to cage him? Even the dumbest drug lord wouldn't bite the hand that feed him. This episode better have a reason and progress down the road or it truly will be a wasted episode.

Navarro's kidnapping of Marty is a direct result of the antagonism between Marty and Wendy. Suffering torture, Marty has to decide where his loyalties lie and what he wants.
A decent, though slow-moving, episode that brings significant change to a number of relationships.
