4/10
Why'd they make Vicious so magical?
30 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
How did Vicious find Jet's daughter? Or even know about Jet? I'm sure The Syndicate had connections inside the ISSP, but would they respond to Vicious? He just killed the leaders of the syndicate and Mao Yenrai and The Eunuch. That's a lot of gangsters that probably don't trust Vicious and possibly want to kill him just for safety's sake. One would think that Vicious would have bigger fish to fry at this point.

Jet's daughter as a character helped define Jet's motivations, raised the stakes. That was a great writing move in my opinion. But using her as a kidnapping pawn breaks the believability of the show. And it's unnecessary; Spike would have showed up at the church anyway (if a renegade Syndicate leader like Vicious really had the free time for a duel).

But, oh well. Hopefully we have another season, and things will get back to coy smiles and failed but funny bounty hunting across the solar system.
