The Company You Keep – Company Man AND The Art of the Steel


Those moments are what make this present so nice although. The relationships between these characters are so superbly woven collectively that you simply typically neglect you’re watching an exhilarating sequence about cons and crime. The familial components, the love, and the losses – these moments once we’re hit with absolute heartache once we least anticipate them – are what make this present so extremely relatable and entertaining. It’s a giant motive as to why I’ve been hooked since day one.

Despite all of the emotional turmoil, there’s nonetheless a job to be achieved, so Emma and Charlie put apart their emotions they nonetheless so clearly have for each other and do what they should do to maintain issues transferring alongside.

Daphne is none the wiser to Charlie’s enjoying of either side, nevertheless it’s but to be seen simply how a lot of that would come again to chunk him and every little thing he holds pricey to him, even with that fantastic buzz that’s transpiring between the 2. And what a buzz it’s as a result of oh my, my, my! I used to be not ready for it, and although the love triangle trope has by no means been a giant favourite of mine, I’m residing for it now. 

I is likely to be slightly biased as a result of anybody who has been following my opinions of TCYK or my yelling over on Twitter can see how a lot I’m completely smitten with Daphne Finch, however I can’t say sufficient about how a lot I loved seeing that softer facet of her. Yes, she’s a giant dangerous and he or she’s nice at it, however we bought to see her in a brand new gentle, extra as somebody we are able to relate to as a substitute of simply the villain who’s inflicting as a lot chaos as attainable. 

It’s not precisely mixing enterprise with pleasure, however with feelings as excessive as they’re and with the place issues are proper now, it’s virtually the identical. Charlie goes to see Daphne, and Emma makes her snide little feedback to which Charlie simply smiles off as if none of it’s attending to him, however fortunately we’ve protecting sis Birdie to name issues as she sees them. She makes an commentary of the budding enterprise relationship between her brother and Daphne, after which continues to name it out in entrance of Emma throughout their surveillance. 


Things are about to turn out to be a complete lot extra harmful although now that Patrick Maguire is out of jail as of this final episode. Especially since Connor is again too and standing by his father’s facet, and the 2 are clearly scheming to get Daphne out of the image as quickly as they’ll. 

With Patrick and Connor looming within the shadows, we are able to’t neglect about Emma’s household dysfunction and David’s new relationship with an worker (ex-eo Leo’s deteriorating psychological well being, Birdie’s ex being again within the image…there’s virtually an excessive amount of occurring that it’s laborious to maintain observe of all of it, however nonetheless, we’re seated with bated breath with each scene that unfolds. 

And all of it has me scratching my head with too many questions on my thoughts, feeling greater than nervous for what might presumably turn out to be of all these characters we’ve fallen in love with. There’s solely two episodes left on this first season, however nonetheless a lot extra story to be instructed, and I believe we’re in for numerous chaos because it involves an finish.

 

 

Some (lots) of my ramblings…

 

       The pressure between Charlie and Emma…whew! Always a fan of the angst. 

 

–    Birdie has a number of the finest traces on this present and I’ll hear no arguments.

 

       I do know Leo had the perfect intentions, however he nonetheless ought to have instructed Birdie as a substitute of letting her consider that Simon had simply left. She carried round a lot trauma and ache for years pondering he had deserted her and Ollie, and realizing that’s not truly what occurred per se is such a punch to the intestine. 

 

       Birdie is the perfect mother. That’s only a reality. 

 

       Daphne and Charlie…I’m feeling the thrill. 

 

       Daphne is the BEST villain. At this level, she’s not even a villain to me. Like, that’s my primary and I’ll defend her to the top. 

 

       “You’re good at getting women to trust you.” Ok, that was a low blow. Why is Emma performing like she didn’t do something incorrect, and it’s all on Charlie? Come on now. 

 

       Oh yeah. Buzz, buzz, BUZZING for Charlie and Daphne. I’m so right here for it. 

 

       This storyline with Simon is breaking my coronary heart, however I actually hope he’s gonna do higher for Birdie and Ollie now that he’s again of their lives. There’s gotta be a contented ending there someplace for the three of them, or no less than for father and daughter. 

 

       That little elbow bump between Daphne and Charlie made me really feel means an excessive amount of. Jesus. 

 

       “Sometimes the stories that we tell ourselves to fill in the cracks of what happened hurt worse than the truth.” The writers deserve all of the accolades for that one as a result of OUCH

 

       Ollie is the sweetest, most delicate and understanding child. Her and Birdie’s relationship continues to be my favourite of this sequence.

 

       “Money, power, or respect…I want it all.” Daphne deserves all of it truthfully and I’m rooting for her.

 

       “I guess our comms got too close.” *giggles*

 

       Emma placing every little thing on the road for Charlie… *sigh* Can she simply recover from it already? She lied. He lied. Neither of them is clear on this entire mess. The hypocrisy and double-edged sword of all of it is basically irking me. 

 

       Daphne and Charlie bonding even below false pretenses on his half is altering my mind chemistry. 

 

       Leo might have meddled the place possibly he shouldn’t have, however he’s an excellent dad and an excellent man who loves his household and we like to see it. 

 

       Ollie and Simon are cute. Need to see extra of them collectively. 

 

       Am I sensing some…chemistry between Emma and Vik? *side-eye*

 

       Listen, I’m loving the love triangle, however I want Emma to appreciate she doesn’t actually have a leg to face on so far as her anger and jealousy. She is the one who ended it with Charlie and lied to him simply as a lot about who she is, as he did along with her. That’s all.

 

       “It sounds like she’s feeling a little more for him than trust these days.” Birdie sees and is aware of all. 

 

       Leo working a job on his personal is probably the most Leo factor this present has achieved but.

 

       When is everybody gonna be taught they’ll’t get one over on Birdie? 

 

       David relationship Jennifer is such a battle of curiosity. Like how is nobody else seeing this?

 

       The drama with the Hill household is getting so juicy although. 

 

       “You don’t like the answers, stop asking the questions.” I’m actually having fun with feisty Charlie on this episode. 

 

       The reality bombs simply maintain coming on this episode. Yikes. 

 

       I like that Emma’s new nickname is Logistics. Good one, Bird.

 

       Leo, Leo, Leo… *facepalm*

 

       “She’s no Maguire. She’s only here as long as it’s useful.” If something, and I imply ANYTHING, occurs to Daphne, I’ll go completely feral. 

 

       “I did what’s right.” Maybe Emma earned some brownie factors with that one.
