Venice the Series: Season 4, Episode 4

"Moron."

It's a great opening and Brandon's totally defeated "The hell did I do?" is the perfect response. But. Poor Brandon. Sounds like dude's got problems at home for sure. Dana's joining Gina in the "has an ex-boyfriend and has problems with them club". Brandon just needs to come up with answers for Guya about Owen, only he's concerned that she won't like them when she gets them. The "Dude, you'll do your job, just like you always do" made Dana sound like stoner!cop, which I feel like might be a completely different (and awesome) show. Spin off?

Venice the Series: Season 4, Episode 3

Better late than never, right? Real Life has been kicking my ass this past week and I was finally able to kick back enough to find some free time, so let’s do this.


This week’s episode feels shorter than the previous two this season, even though the run time is about the same as last week. Not in a bad way, but in a gone-too-soon, left-wanting-more kind of way - like Owen. Owen’s never been more present than he is this season, and I’m not even counting the Heaven scenes.


When I wished last week that Episode 3 would pick up where Episode 2 had left off, I was thinking about Gina and Ani in bed, not so much Lara being furtive with her trash, but here we are. It’s a good place to pick back up.

Venice the Series: Season Four, Episode Two

Sad Venice is sad. If I was feeling lazy that could be my entire recap. As it is, I’m trying to work on that whole laziness thing so let’s do this.

Venice the Series: Season Four, Episode 1

Oh hell yes, Ladies and (presumed) gentlemen! Venice the Series is back with the first episode of its fourth season. Let's do this.


We open with scissors, very important scissors. Everything is in slow motion, the sound faded out. Sami is coming up behind Owen, and, well, we all know what's about to happen. Owen gets stabbed. The Colonel comes in, calls 9-1-1. The news is all bad. Owen is in mortal peril. We've seen this. What we don't know is what's coming next.
