Lieutenant, In All Due Respect...
biorngm27 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is the start of multiple deadly episodes, i.e. body count including surprising results, unexpected and not foreseen deaths; rated high for the violent action, cool heads prevailing while the whole picture is reassembled to find the stash of weapons and all other killers. Superb acting efforts by regular cast members and the guest actors as well. This rewards viewers into understanding why the original series was highly rated; never mind the few mediocre episodes that come with every lengthy series.

The story develops into tragic consequences for known cast members, evolving into a three-part journey to find all the perpetrators; not too much red tape to cross in pursing the guilty parties. Pay particular attention to the interview room scenes of all suspects where as discussions get heated facts surface manifest the LAPD to have awakenings and follow clues to their end with satisfying results.

Rusty is an annoyance throughout the series, my opinion and he played his part well, although Mr. Beck finally listens to the Lieutenant, staying off to the side, out of Sharon's way in order for her to be Captain of Major Crimes rather than coddling to his whining. Watch Sanchez, my favorite and the Lieutenant work the case with Sharon as they burrow through the rubble of supremacists, a murdered mother of his adopted son, a to-be-missing court reporter and murdered Deputy Chief Taylor, among other innocent people.

The mission is clear, find the horde of weapons before devastation is wrought upon the city. Julio emphasizes to the Lieutenant; Mark Jarvis would be targeted if word of the back room of Uncle Henry's house is leaked with its contents. Sanchez believes his mother Ava was murdered because she told somebody about nefarious goings-on.

Two attorneys murdered, Dr. Joe Bowman brutally wounded in the witness stand recouping in the hospital, Taylor sadly gone, the sheriff killed in the same courtroom all victims of Dwight Darnell, who was fatally shot by Captain Raydor accounts for the courtroom fatalities.

The shootout with the Coulson's at the weapon's warehouse and the previous Henry Colson shooting/capture were initial events prompting the knowledge of the armament cache by LAPD; nice head kick Sykes, I am certain your fellow officers appreciated the action.
