For the Greater Good.

What an apt name for the episode where we're finally rid of Astrid.  I hope. The writers could be messing with us. Certainly Anamriea Marinca is a fine actress. But her character was unnecessary and its presence annoyingly tedious. So let Max move forward or be as he is. 

The rest of the cast is very good, a fine ensemble. I do miss Sonita Henry. I look forward to Season 4, especially without Astrid. I hope I'm not fooled.

One small, nice touch — I like is seeing Max ride his bike. He does that really well, making me think he's spent or spends a fair time actually riding. I've seen so many shows where the star or a character gets on a bike a looks like this is the first time on one in years. 

Anyway, on to Season/Series 4!

In this episode what piece of music does Max have on the turntable when his aunt visits?

I believe that's the Brandenburg Concerto No.3 in G major.

That's brilliant, thank you. I don't feel so bad about forgetting what piece it was- I last played it about 60years ago during piano lessons!
