A let-down from the last episode. At least in this one, Alicia takes on more of a lead role although she's still not the key to winning cases as she was in the first season. Kalinda seems to be doing all the heavy lifting.
Kalinda and Alicia's relationship starts to heal somewhat although there should've been more drama. This might be a realistic portrayal of how it would've happened in real life but we're looking for entertainment. The rekindling should've been more heartfelt. Stony is good. Icy is fine. But this scene needed so much more than a few lines uttered while sitting in a car.
The main plot about Alicia's firm needed to find grounds for a mistrial starts well but tails off quickly. Arresting Kalinda was a bold move. But the resolution was too easy. So was the way they got the mistrial. This is poor writing. If you start off with a bang, you'd better not end with a whimper.
