10/10
An eye opening experience

Possibly the most horrific episode of television I've ever watched. I would've told you before I watched this episode that this series is not for the light-hearted. Having now seen this episode I'm not sure anybody could've watched episode 9 and not come away from it with some sort of changed perspective or realization of the true horror these men had to face. Joseph Mazzello and Rami Malek's performances throughout the entire series have been some of the best work of their entire careers, this episode for me proved that more than ever. The emptiness in sledges eyes mid way through this episode will shatter your heart. Anyone brave enough to watch this series to the end will surely develop a sincere care for many of the men and the sacrifices they made. Absolutely a masterpiece of storytelling in episode 9. Possibly Hanks and Spielberg's best work in their trio of miniseries.
