I really enjoyed this episode, probably more than the pilot. It had some pretty intense and graphic moments to it and at the same time it had a nice balance with it's humor and drama( A very good balance I'd might add). This episode also had more character beats, which made the characters a little more interesting and it also explored a bit more into the father-son relationship between Walter and Peter. This episode also had better direction and acting than the pilot delivered, the chemistry between the actors was much more costumed and Anna Torv did a better job here than before. I liked how director Paul A. Edwards handled things a bit more than Alex Graves did with the pilot episode. Can't wait to see Edwards next episode.
Overall, this was a pretty good episode, it had a nice twist at the end to, but I'm not spoiling that one.
9/10.
Can't wait till next week's episode...
