Featured review
A passable episode
As someone who has been unimpressed by both Ewan McGregor and David Thewlis so far this season, it was great that they were absent here (though I think McGregor had a voice "cameo" as the astronaut in the short animation). This episode focused on Carrie Coon's character Gloria, and I'm delighted as Coon can easily run rings around any actor/actress she's put in a scene with.
The flashback scenes are great - Mann delivers a brilliant performance as the awkward Thaddeus and Melamed is superb as Zimmerman. The dialogue was tight. The direction sometimes was a bit lacking, but the cinematography was well done. Jeff Russo's music was sublime, as per usual.
I almost don't look forward to next week, as I know McGregor and Thewlis will be back, but at least that means Nikki Swango will return. So far, in my opinion, this season is just behind S2, and far away from S1.
