I'll be generous and say roughly the first half of the episode was good. However, it did not justify it's length at all. I'd say all of the life drained out of it after Ray and Frank shot up the meeting. With like over a half an hour to go, things couldn't have been any more blatantly telegraphed.

And, yes, of course the daughter was really Caspare's kid. Because they couldn't hit us over the head with the theme any harder.

An inferior version of a James Ellroy novel. Just read the "LA Quartet" instead.
