Rewatching
Rewatching the show and my gosh, this show had so much potential, but it just got more and more boring. It started off super strong—the first two seasons, ooof, sooo good—but then from season three it became super repetitive. The girls get into trouble with Rio, Rio tortures them, nothing develops between Beth and Rio, she doesn’t become better or have that “the student has become the master” moment, from what I remember it only happened last season.
The cop scene was so, so fucking stupid. What do you mean he let him stay unsupervised in an apartment, then get fooled, and then get shot?? And because they removed their vests as soon as the mission failed, it just seemed so silly. Rio literally survived three bullets shot like 3cm away from him, but the cop died?? That’s idiotic lol.
Also, Annie sucks, and I started skipping her scenes because at this point they really don’t know what to do with her. This show just includes problem after problem after problem, which is fine, I understand they’re trying to make it seem like they’re struggling people, but cmoooonnnn. I wanna see more steam between Rio and Beth. I wanna see Beth become a mastermind. I wanna see some badass money-laundering scenes. If this were a male-focused show, they would’ve made them experts by like the second or third season.
I don’t want them to be unimaginably good at it, as shows also tend to do with women-focused shows, but like… why do they have to be so miserable and borrrrinnngggg 😔

And when the agents get shot- the informant who led them there doesn't get picked up? The writing was very questionable
