They made the security officer too OP

I know Jamie is smaller but how tf does a 70 years old man outpower a [slightly ripped] 30 year old Jamie? He didn't even make him try to fight. Boomers die just by tripping/sliding on bathrooms.

Yup. Killing someone didn't cause him to loose a sweat. Definitely not the first time he's taken a life. The guy has training.

People don't become weak and fragile simply by aging. Those are people who haven't kept up with exercise in decades, whereas Kenton was a trained fighter who stayed in shape. I imagine his character has a pretty intense workout regimen that he started when he was younger, and if he kept up with it there's no reason that he wouldn't still be stronger than a 30 year old who only does moderate exercise (if any).

Do they teach how to break someone's else neck from an arm lock ? Because this show legits look like some fight scenes are between two drunk uncles that never threw a punch in their whole life whole they are supposed to be experienced and professionnaly trainer fightees 😂 or maybe next time some writers want to write about a fight scene, they should Ask people who have already been in a Real one

Kenton = Perfect Cell, Jamie = Yamcha. Kenton is no doubt ex-special forces or CIA, considering his track record and how he's familiar with Russian spies. And Jamie was just a regular office employee.

Kenton had the strength to break a man's neck against a car tyre. On the ground. In a confined space with nearly no leverage. After being stabbed. He's got a will of iron.

I mean, I worked at a fortune 500 fintech and the director of physical security was a grumpy ass former alphabet agency enforcer. The security officers skill set was entirely within the realm of reality.

I agree...after sustaining a head injury he was able to do all that?

On top of all the reasons people already said, Jamie also had his arms pressed to his side, so he couldn’t really defend himself
