    GREAT SHOW, HORRIBLE EPISODE

    This story is so horrible, plot holes, unnecessary action to drive story. Worst episode so far. The fact that Charlie and Amita can't connect on shared passion. My wife and I started on that and we been married 25yrs with 5 kids. We spend every second together or as a family , we even still have "play time" 3 times a week. Thats what shared passion gets you. Point is, everything about this episode is wrong and horrible! I suggest to anyone watching this great series to just skip over this one episode and just move on to the next one. Be ont the lookout for others written by Nicolas Falacci, Cheryl Heuton, or Andrew Dettmann.

    OK but Nothing New

    This is about a kidnapping. A young woman is shot to death when she participates in a jewelry store robbery. This leads to a sophisticated plot that is pretty hard to fathom. Too many complications. The number bit involves a bookmaking process and gambling is at the center of things.

    Classic criminal works hostage routine but with a twist because the hostage is doing the robberies at the criminal's behest ... the real problem is the plot is so full of hole you could drive a bus through it ... bet me
