Really enjoyed this one. It was oddly more focused than many of the episodes that preceded it, with the wiretap as a fairly straightforward throughline that the show rarely traffics in. I loved the mashup of the Peter Gunn theme and I'll Be Watching You. It was interesting to see the other side of the Cops and Robbers game of the series in greater depth, and was an interesting device to convey the passage of time from the end of the second season to the beginning of the third. The other little stories--like Patsy's conflicted role and the maid's husband's plight--were interesting if not terribly substantial. But all-in-all it was a very compact, parsiomonious episode of the show that played very well.
Watched on HBO Max. Not really a great episode. Some unfunny jokes. The way the feds wire Tony’s house seems a little bit unrealistic but still shows how things are done by them. Let’s see what happens later or what the consequences are for all this drama.
anyone who doesn't see this episode as a moist, soaking wet metaphor for the Patriot Act post-9/11 is smoking weed.

Great episode with two storylines. I hope that in the coming episodes, the FBI is more strongly characterized. It lacks on their side a direct opponent. Nevertheless, this episode was a good start in the 3rd season. I liked it.
