Others liked it for the reduced focus on gadgets, more simplicity and of course Creator/SharonTate as Freya Carlson. Some even felt it was the best in the series.

** Ms Carlson's EstablishingCharacterMoment, where she slips and falls on Matt's camera case, smashing the complimentary bottle of wine she was about to give him. She's still holding the top, with the bow on it, and hands it over anyway.
--> '''Matt:''' What year was it?
--> '''Freya:''' 1949.
--> '''Matt:''' Good year.
** Matt attempting a getaway after Lola gets blown up. Just as he gets into his car...Freya crashes into it. Her OhCrap followed by the awkward wave is priceless.
** Her attempts at bailing him out of trouble with the police too. They tell her he's been caught fleeing the site of a suspected homicide by explosion.
--> "Well, I would say leaving the area of an explosion ''hastily'' is an extremely sensible reaction."
** After the gas has allowed them to escape Count Contini's bodyguards, Matt and Freya run through a pool house, where Linka is staggering about. Matt notices she might fall into the pool, and steers her away, using the opportunity to hug her as well. An irritated Freya then throws Linka right into the pool.
--> '''Matt:''' [[SkewedPriorities What makes you think she could swim?]]
--> '''Freya:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Well that was the only way to find out.]]
