It was relevant to what set events in motion but it just didn't feel like there were any stakes involved to the characters not named Semyon. Had he been a legitimate businessman that got ****ed out of the deal and then he turned to thuggery and the conflicted emotions from him and his wife, it would have been one thing. But once we were shown how violent Frank was willing to get it just didn't seem like a big deal and it was more about watching to see if he could muscle his way back into the money.

Art theft is unique in that a buyer basically hires the thieves for specific pieces. The thieves will pass up higher valued pieces to get what is on their list. Of course, it is incredibly hard to sell the pieces on the open market since they would be really well known.
Have the heist go south and the detectives need to find out the thieves and who hired them.
