What I’m Watching: The Company You Keep

The Company You Keep: Season 1, Episode 7 “Company Man” (B)

This show is definitely stretching the limits of believability - which I guess it’s been doing from the start - with the CIA crafting a perfect cover for Charlie so that he could accompany Daphne to sell weapons with Emma just a short distance away watching the whole thing. It doesn’t seem like a great idea for exes to work together in this professional context so soon after a breakup, especially when one of them has to listen to the other try to flirt in order to help take down the bad guy. A Charlie-Daphne hookup seems inevitable, and it’s possible Emma won’t be all that upset because she’s just that determined to put her behind bars,but she’s also risking quite a lot in order to protect her asset from being found out. Charlie and Daphne do make a great team, and it would be interesting to see if this show earns a second season and she might end up working with them or with Emma due to an unforeseen turn of events, though I very much doubt that. Simon is back in a big way after the circumstances of his disappearance were revealed, and he seems legitimately scarred by the fact that he nearly let his daughter drown. Leo left an intense impression by holding a gun to his head, but it appears that Bird is the one feeding lines through him now to ensure that the same thing doesn’t happen again with Olive finally getting a chance to spend time with her father.
