"Gold Summit" is the character's best episode to date—but Colin Farrell seems to have worked through his entire bag of tricks.’s sixth installment, make for genuinely riveting, tense television—until Oswald Cobb opens his mouth at the end? We’ve been told, again and again, that this awful little man’s primary talent is a gift for gab, for shaping the world around him by talking.
As for Oz himself, we find him surprisingly ascendant this week, the show blithely skipping over however much time and work it took to transition the ruined trolley tunnels we ended in last time into a working, vibrant growth operation for Bliss. We won’t begrudge’s miserabilism in this plot-line was part of what made it a slog—especially if it means our main character is being a bit more dynamic this time around.
François Chau and other assembled mobsters about the power of underdogs banding together to take down the rich and powerful. And maybe this would have worked on us, as it ultimately does on the characters, if we hadn’t seen Oz lie his way through so many confrontations already. One of the major problems of making your main character a pathological liar, turns out, is that it makes it extremely hard to invest in anything he says.
• It’s genuinely sad when it seemed like Jessie Pinnick’s Roxy was betraying Eve—and it’s a small relief when it turns out it was on her boss’ orders.• Oz telling the councilman how to back out of the parking space was a cute touch. This show’s better when it lets Farrell be funny.
