I'm still enjoying the show, but this episode has two of my least favorite tropes. One is the antagonist group acting like complete caricatures, and the other is the boss explaining his entire plan to the main character (but really to the audience). Just the act of kidnapping and turning people into slaves makes them immediately unlikable; there's no need to have them laugh and lick their fingers like Saturday morning villains. There are also ways to show how full of himself their boss is without having him explain his business model to the prisoner because he thinks there's no way for them to escape.
