Despite episode 4 probably being the best mid season episode of the whole series, overall it was probably the weakest season
It's a much stronger show when AC-12 are after a potentially good copper who makes a couple of poor decisions (1,2,4) then this over complex arching OCG/H story which gets more and more farfetched each passing minute. The show is unfortunately swallowing itself in its own plot.
Thought this summed it up really well for me.

I must say that the acting was superb. Its Mercurio trying to outdo himself as a writer (similar to Bodyguard, great start that got away quickly) that's the problem. Which is a shame, because he is obviously an exceptional writer.
