Episode 3: The Consignment
Marta needs to devise a plan to import an illegal drug shipment for Schiller as payment for her husband's debt. Quick thinking is called for when the smuggle hits a snag. As Boris starts to remember things about his father's murder, the FBI draw Marta's children into the investigation against her.
Episode 4: The Escape
Marta's plan to flee the country with her children is ruined when Irwin, released early, decides to expand the business via a deal with Schiller. Irwin and Andrei's seething tension comes to a head. Mike robs his own home to pay off his debts.
Grade: 3 Monsters (out of 5). While i enjoyed the first two episodes, I'm not sure where else they can go with the show. Marta should indeed flee the country with her children as planned. And someone should put a cap in Irwin. Talk about stupid. This would have been better off as a Lifetime (woman in peril) movie instead of a series. Metacritic also gave "Red Widow" mostly middle of the road reviews. http://www.metacritic.com/tv/red-widow
