Now that we have finally gone into war I think the series is making more sense considering its episode 6 and a lot has happen before to this although there are still things that just happen ...because...and most of the time is around Harry, for example how he always have dirt on people, the guy at the hotel where Seraphina and Brendan were staying, how did Harry had dirt on the guy so fast?? this are the things that are a buzz killer when they start to pile up.
The episode was very dramatic and I like how within the family things are starting to crack up and the only one who seem to be loyal to the family core is Harry, it all comes from Maeve who doesn't give a fuck and acts alone because its bs Comrad gave the order to kill Vron, Kevin questioning Comrad in front of Harry, Seraphina and Brendan acting on their own at the family back. There some serious issues within the family and I'm wondering if eventually one of them will work with the police when they see against the wall or become a traitor, Maeve kinda betray Conrad on this very episode but I guess she has always act like that.

I'm starting to enjoy more Richie as the "bad guy" not necessarily because he is all business and has been the aggressive one during the series but the character has gone through multiple though situations, first Tommy's death and right after it Vron, aside from going through all this traumatic deaths he is still firm and wanting to hang Conrad from the tallest three he can find.
There is also this "relationship" or deal Maeve does with Richie, attempting to get Seraphina killed since she hates her and use her as a Pawn on the ongoing war with the Stevensons, as she mention "giving him an olive branch" similar to a low hanging fruit to calm things down a bit after they taunt him over the phone but what is it that Maeve has or know about everyone that even Richie make deals with her? that is another of those things that just happen without much context and becomes annoying, also the part where Richie just tell them ..."run" that's very cliche and I felt they ran short of imaginations to come up with a better response from Richie, if I continue numbering the kind of things that just happen without much context is "the Mexicans", how on Earth do they have mercenaries on speed dial just like that from another country, it is also the case when Seraphina contacts and gets setup a hole squad of special security to protect her and Brendan when they closing on the Rubies deal? well at the end Lorenzo guys were out numbered, out gun and were worthless.

There is one bully or abusive aspect against women that Conrad has that I'm not liking so much, this time is just a bit too much against Harry's daughter, I wonder if he would imagine but Conrad was kinda the same with his wife Jan so it only makes me think how is Conrad with Bella? lets remember they use to be lovers before Bella marry Kevin, Cotswolds is a creepy place after all, people get killed, you got to basically bend over when you are under Conrad roof.
Besides Conrad shenanigans, we also got Bella and Jan on the same room, very funny when Harry arrives and talks to Bella...can we talk...basically telling Jan she is not invited to the conversation, then how Bella reminds Harry he works for the family there for he works for her when he ask Bella to put a pin on her business with Antoine until the get the shit show over, but what really cracks me up is when Harry is getting into the helicopter on his way to bring back Seraphina and Brendan as Conrad ask him to and Bella is watching through the window and tells to Jan's face "damn isn't that the sexiest thing" LOL for Jan to answer not anymore, Bella has a taste for badass guys probably why she hit it on with Conrad in the first place, when they are at Cotswolds crazy things happen, just look at poor Arch got smoke on episode 1.

I'm rely starting to enjoy how the series is developing more the characters of Seraphina and Brendan, giving more context on how she does business, for the most part she has been describe as this sharp business woman who launders money for the family and she is Conrad's little princess. On episode 6 we can see her in action, from telling Brendan how things going to go down from start to finish, doing the negotiations, not taking the bait to put a deposit before the deal gets down and telling the merchant to fuck off only to wait until they counteroffer and at the same time already getting a security squad to be "heavily" protected at all times during the deal.
On the other hand Brendan is such a looser and even had this drama queen moment when Harry calls Lorenzo to get their location only for Brendan to tell him to fuck off and screams at Seraphine telling her this is his show, that scene didn't make much sense with everything she has done before because she decides to shut up and continue with the deal when during the hole time she has been dictating the rules of the game, I guess she felt she was too invested hiring Lorenzo who ask her for 8% of the $2M amount of the deal.
The episode close with Lorenzo's crew and the merchant crew getting smoked by "The Mexicans" who arrive after Richie sends them, all this happening thanks to Maeve to throw Seraphine into the fire to calm down things with Richie, but the greatest part is the cliff hanger of how the fck Harry is going to pull this job when been out number heavily, him arriving at full speed on a stolen bike, damn that was a cool close to the episode.
The episode also integrates all the Harringas better including Harry's family, everyone in a single place adding something to the episode and the clash or team up between some of them, like Maeve teaming with Eddie, Kevin teaming up with Harry to try to question Conrad but Harry knows his place as a soldier, Bella indirectly clashing against Jan like bitch how you dont fuck Harry's brains out he is so hot....and then creepy Conrad going at Harry's wife and daughter. I'm still waiting to see more development on the Stevensons side of the story although I would understand if the series is about the Harrigans but then why call it Mobland and not Harrigans Mobs? Idk its just that I think would be better if they series expands further than just the Harrigans.
