A previous review of this episode is unfair to the show and writers. I felt it should be pointed out that the story, dialogue and beliefs of said characters are FROM THE CHARACTERS VIEWPOINTS!! If a character says something that may or may not be true, we as viewers must consider the time in history and the prevailing opinions. Because something has been proved over time as not 100% accurate, this should not - in fact must not - be held against a period program. Anything else becomes revisionist history, and sadly, there is entirely too much of that on television and in films today. I personally find it easier to relate to period characters with all their flaws and misunderstandings of the day in place.
Regarding this episode: Eva Green can carry a scene by simply being in it. There was a short scene where she was waiting for the doctor. It was very simply shot with her just sitting on a lounge - but as the camera pulled slowly back, her nervous dread of the upcoming meeting poured from the TV.
Wes Studi is a solid addition to the cast. He is a fantastic actor and I have high hopes for his character.
Production quality, atmosphere and dialogue are every bit as high as we've come to expect. We are only two episodes into the season, but the web being woven is tangled and tantalizing...
