What is the fastest way to get to the FBI’s most wanted list? Apparently, kill a woman in front of Dylan McDermott, the supervisory agent of the Fugitive Task Force. This is the FBI’s most wanted episode this week, “Ars Moriendi,” which means “dying art” in Latin. Let’s talk.

He rudely pushed Remy into a restaurant before perpetrator Jay Lark (Steven Maier) committed his first murder . The subsequent pursuit of Remy and Ray Cannon (Edwin Hodge) is an intrinsic experience that is an annoying due to its graphic theme. Extended, first person, handheld chase scenes, while delivering adrenaline impulse, feeling (parodially) overextended, stretched. Lark’s flight was upgraded from chasing to a car, then to a scooter, and finally to a subway. Despite the significant tension in the FBI’s pursuit, this did not mask the predictability of Lark’s inevitable escape in the early stages of the episode.

After escaping, Lark posted videos of his murder on an unregulated online server. The video Remy aptly described as a “snuff” movie has received comments from users, especially from Jar-Man26 $$, aka Jarret Bahri (Rama Vallury). With the help of Jill of cybercrime, the FBI quickly deleted Lark’s statement: “God is dead.”
The storyline centers on self-loathing gamers Lark and Bahri, who participates in the ruthless real-life killing contest and feels very familiar – causing echoes of Leopold and Loeb, but resulting in the Gen Z society due to the pandemic isolation. During the pandemic, Lark lost his parents and Bahri’s abandonment by his father, which drew a unique view. However, there is a lack of consistency in the execution, so there are many shortcomings. The perpetrator was completely impossible and did not arouse any sympathy. Agent Sheryl Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) and Remy’s dual hearts defended, accusing the pandemic or the Internet of things to perform gamers, fell and felt disbelief.

Despite its predictability and disturbing theme, the plot retains a certain level of entertainment. When one gamer opens another, most viewers may expect the inevitable betrayal. Finally, when the FBI began to shut him down, Lark reached out to Bahri. Barry cannot resist the murder of Lark live, the old motto of “Hungland”: There is only one – übermensch. Although this episode offers a certain morbid enjoyment. Ultimately, it is not groundbreaking and leaves a disturbing aftertaste.
