Mike is a tough guy weighed down by a big sad heart and his bottomless melancholy has provided an important counterpoint to Jimmy's frenetic glibness. Now he is increasingly driving the plot too.

"Gloves Off" paid off on a lot of set-up and brought the series back into its wheelhouse of crumbling lives, moral stands, and detailed crime.
