Lets start with flaw number 1. The DA, I don't know what scarier here, the villains or the fact that such an incompetent agency has more power than the govt and constantly has to cover up their screw ups from the public which happens well quite a lot. Without Takina and Chisato to unscrew things the DA would just be another useless hack agency that is collecting a paycheque.
Speaking of the DA, lets also talk about Takina. Shes one of the only two competent Lycoris in the entire show. She at least understands her job and her purpose yet gets reprimanded time and time again for it. Were it not for her besides Chisato of course DA would be useless and Chisato would not be able to do her job nearly as well. Despite all of this she carries nearly the rest of the energy for the show.
Flaw number 2, Chisatos obsession with not using lethal force/ "saving lives". For the record no Chisato is not a "female John Wick" not even close. Wick wouldn't hesitate to go lethal when it calls for it. Having this mentality is fine if there's an order to bring in a target alive or the character in question is of great importance. However, sparing the lives of unimportant low level dangerous terrorists and treating them like petty criminals who committed a nonviolent crime not only adds nothing of value to justify the goodness in Chisatos character it is corny and stupid. As if that isnt bad enough her point is contradicted on multiple occasions by her recklessness and letting dangerous terrorists go unsupervised. Her actions in episode 9 alone is enough to make you roll your eyes.
I know what a lot of you are saying "so what is action show who cares"? sure, other shows lack in plot or don't have even close to the best plot but they don't draw near as much of your attention as Recoil does because Recoil keeps reminding you so its not like you can ignore it. Is the show bad and you shouldn't watch it? No, however I recommend you temper your expectations a little bit and try to see through all the hype.
