The right mix of bizarre but believable plot
by film_weaver2020-09-28
9/10

"Finally the creators have hit the right mix of bizarre but believable plot and even did not forget to add adequate amount of self-irony. I also like that they presented the daily routine when Gunmen look for their cases as well as the very extraordinary kickboxing act Yves vs. blonde double agent. As a result, the episode earns the highest rating so far...."

💡 Did You Know?

The name of character John Gillnitz, writer-producer of The New Cap'n Toby Show, is a portmanteau of the names of the episode's three writers: John Shiban, Vince Gilligan, and Frank Spotnitz.
