This past few days have been totally crazy at the office leaving me without peace to concentrate to pull a full article, I just realize I had a draft of Mobland Episode 3 for two days already but the chain of events have been madness and I hope it stops today, at least I'm picking up on the habit to engage with commenting others authors blog posts and I'm planning to make it part of my routine.
Well we can say third is a charm, Episode 3 of Mobland really escalate things as I was expecting but we still have silly things going on as I mention on my previous post, the episode titled "Plan B" since that is exactly what Kevin and Harry come up with after Richie Stevenson blows up Kevin house after getting tired of waiting for Harry or any of the Harrigans to answers where is his son Tommy, I wonder if Richie is that powerful that the Harrigans don't go straight up war with him but to kinda try to avoid it to the point it almost look like they running from him? after he blew up Kevin's house, after all he is Comrad oldest soon, isn't that going too far?

Here is why it feels like the Harringans respect too much Richie or fear him, but its a mix bag too. After Richie blew up Kevin's house the Harrigans dont pull up soldiers on the streets looking for the Stevensons, they first call in everyone on the family and get them to Comrad house, this is suppose to be consider a safe place and I say suppose because I got a feeling Richie might bring war to Comrad place but that is just me speculating. Harry also had to wake up his family and get them out of the radar and this is when you experience that psychological warfare, two shooters are staying out of Harry's place to put him down until he confront them with Comrad on the phone, on speaker, and they basically sht their pants when Harry threaten them with "kill me and Comrad is listening....he will go after your family" and they back out just like that, no shots fire, no nothing. I have to give them its some dark humor in between and shows the power of the Harrigan family on the streets but we want some action, some shooting, fights, blood, head shots, its suppose to be Mobland, I hope it gets darker soon.
At this point we all know war is coming but Harry and Kevin still want to avoid it, we don't know why yet because if they had so much power should also say fuck it like Richie but I get there is always a side that thinks war is not good for business. They had Valjon tight up inside a container with plastic all over it to avoid blood spillage, they even wearing plastic suits and interrogate Valjon but at the end tells him to remember what Harry said the first time they met "...help the family and the family will help you" , Valjon knows he is a dead man already, Kevin and Harry threaten him to kill his family and son but Richie would the same if he ever finds out Valjon lies to him, yeah Harry and Kevin want Valjon to lie to Richie almost saying this was an isolated incident and he acted by himself. I think its going to work based on some pictures I have seen online where the Harrigans are at a funeral paying respects, I guess its at Tommy so Valjon dies and comes through with the Harrigans?, I got mix feelings if that's the case because it would be just too easy but I get that part of the audience might be rooting for Harry here.
Bella has also been a bit naughty as she have this hate for her father, probably the same old story or her been hurt because he doesn't respect her or look at her over the shoulder, that is not clear and has very little context but her father has an important charge at the government and he is corrupt. Bella got him into a meeting with a man, Antoine a Frenchman who is suppose to be Bella's client; they recorded her father during a meeting to proof he is taking bribes to get ppl meet the UK Prime Minister so Bella can have the upper hand over her father, she does mention its not about the money but the power this would give her but her plan backfires when Antoine doesn't give her the tape and now is trying to blackmail her. Antoine probably thinks well after all I can get the meeting and still get my money out of Bella, this is when Bella ring Harry and he runs to her to see whats up.
Its been very entertaining although its not perfect, it has its moments of greatness and episode 3 has way more action and intense drama although we fall into those moments where it feels silly, like why not going after Richie and kill him??? after all they were going to put him down on episode 1 right after he sat down with Harry for the first time to talk about the Tommy situation, and is Richie really going to fall for Valjon saying it was just him and the Harrigans had nothing to do? is he seriously going to take all the pain Richie is going to put him through and not sing like bird? still this episode its a 7.5/10 for me.
