Gangsta. Episode 2








Whew. More introduction continuing from the previous episode!

So, clearly, in this episode, the introduction is continued about 'taggers' which are... an implication of 'Beware of Dog'.


So, uh, we're basically given a run through on Nicolas' abilities and his awesome skills as another tagger tries to 'kidnap' Dr Theo. That tagger, as revealed afterwards is a B/2, which are probably levels of skills or experience, and is helping one of the big bosses I guess...



Here's some pictures for reference:





As I was saying, Nic's tag is A/0, which might be pretty obvious but I might be wrong, which is probably the best. Come on, A when B is lower, and 2 when 0 is higher.



Pretty cool.

We're also given some preview of what it would be like in the future to have Alex working with them, but as for now, working with Worick.



We also have a new character, a regular of Benriya (Handymen), Nina, a nurse working under Dr Theo.

Nina describing Nicholas.

When Nicholas found out he would be fighting a B-tagger or higher.
There's actually some comedy here and there too, which is precious in a setting like Gangsta. Like in Episode 1, where Nicholas robbed the punks money after beating them up. And here, in Episode 2, multiple times we're taken aback by Nicholas' personality.

He seems to be caring, as shown in both episodes when he gave the napkin to Alex, and when he bought soda for Nina.
He also seems playful, as he was toying around with the B-tagger, and when he was playing/fighting with Dr Theo.

It's really nice to have a character with handicaps which allows the audience to awe at how the character adapts and see through his perspective.



I guess when you live in a place like this, you gotta be prepared too, even if you're just a doctor.

Also, next episode we will probably be briefed about 'Twilights' as Nina referred Nicolas as and as the B-tagger was. I'm guessing survivors from war?

Can't wait for the next episode!
