This season has been pretty trigger-happy so far, killing major characters nearly every episode, so when this one decided to focus on three separate stories of people in apartments threatening each other with violence, I got pretty worried somebody wasn't going to make it out alive. As always, Esmail does a fantastic job keeping the tension at a fever pitch the whole hour. I spent the entire time guessing, and second-guessing, and still finding myself wrong.
Every episode this season has kept me on the edge of my seat, but this one added an extra layer to it; discomfort. The characters say some truly painful things to each other, and it's very tough to sit through. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion; you know it's inevitable. but you keep looking for ways out.
My only complaint about this episode is that it ends. That's not a joke, I'm legitimately complaining. I wish I had the strength of will to wait for the whole season to be out so I could watch it at a non-maddening pace, but Sam did too good a job and I get irrationally angry at him sometimes because of it.
