All three leading ladies are separated in this episode. Every each one of them is going her own way to confront her man. Jane wants to find out if the guy found online is the one who raped her in the past, Madelaine meets the guy she had an affair with and Celeste deals with the issue she and her husband have.
The peak of the episode is certainly the conversation between Celeste and her therapist. We can see that she's lost, uncertain about how much should she tell her. Afraid, but willing to get help. The scene is very well made, the room is full of darkness, characters are covered in shadows, we can feel the tension between the two ladies. The therapist pushes her and pushes. I like how Celeste opens up, but at the same time she is withdrawn. We know she's telling the truth about her husband being a good father, but she tries to tone down the real issues. The dialogues are well written.
Nicole Kidman nailed it. This scene alone could earn her Emmy and Golden Globe wins. The only opponent of her I imagine could be Reese Whiterspoon as she's also amazing in the show. I wonder how is it going to turn out between them, as I think Shailene Woodley is a little bit behind them.
I also want to add, kudos to the creator of the show. I love how he handles the situation between Mr. and Mrs. Wright. I've seen a lot of couples in television and movies and 90% of them are basically the same. It's not the case with the Wrights. Their problem is very rare and yet so realistic. I'm very curious about how are they going to solve it. It's interesting, because they really do seem like a loving couple. Perry is great with kids, she's a good wife and mom and yet they have an issue that needs to be solved right away before it goes any further than violent sex and few bruises.
I have to say the only problem with the show is that it only has seven episodes. Would love to stay with those people for at least three seasons.
