The redhead breathes some much needed life into the show. It's been too ordinary after the opening episode; needs more characters and conflict.

More people thinking that Chirico holds a lot of information, more torture and then he manages to run away. I'm sensing a pattern, which never bodes well. Same formula 3 times in 5 episodes is getting old.

And I agree with Beatnik that it needs some more life. I wouldn't call it ordinary, but I'd say it's a little bland. And Chirico being so stoic doesn't help.

What an amazing hand-held heavy laser cutter, it always make the same perfectly circular cut every time, no matter who holds and operates it! XD

Phantom Lady's starting to pique my interest. That's one tough limousine's she got, it wasn't even scratched ever since episode 3 and it comes with a driver that has nerves of steel.

Well, the first time he escaped on his own, the second time he escaped with some other guys, and the third time he escaped due to the help of a few people. So it's 'technically' not the 'same' pattern, it's just repeated escapes in various ways.

Kind of getting a bit repetitive here. I'm hoping some actual story progression occurs soon.

So Chirico is related to Nietzsche?

I had a really good laugh at that part. It was glorious.

The whole escape was kinda silly in a bad way. The action was, as usual, entertaining.

They got Chirico out of jail, and he met up for a battle, which turned out to be a trap. He ended up facing off against his old captain, who almost managed to tell Chirico what "the mission" was all about, but died before he could.

vanilla is hilarious in every episode. "that's why i'm asking!" right before the wall gets blasted.

This has been enjoyable to watch but one sequence rubbed me the wrong way, throwing my immersion out the window. 

Vanilla clearly said, before starting to cut, that they were right below Chirico's cell but when the hole is made and they jump out, turns out they were not under Chirico's cell. They were actually in the corridor Chirico was being escorted by guards to his execution. If Vanilla's line had been "I can't tell where exactly we are but we're near his cell, I'm sure" or if he had some kind of hearing device that allowed them to hear the guards, that would've made more sense to me and thus keep my immersion intact. 

Other than this, I'm liking it.
