Defiant Jazz

Writing, directing, acting, dancing are at an absolute all time high in this remarkable episode. I've been talking about it non stop since it aired. Just brilliant.

Wow. What ? I have goosebumps writing this. What. An. Episode.

Episode starts off fast, and it never lets up. The cinematography, the suspense, absolutely flawless. 2 sides of a coin, trying desperately to coincide. 3 stars of the Episode go to Mark, Milcheck, and IRVING!! This show is about to be littered with Emmy's.

Wow, what an episode. Resolves much of what happened in the last episode yet we are thrown a new curve ball at the very ending shot. What could this mean? I don't know but I'm definitely tuning in next time to find out. This show is so unsatisfying but in a good way. You're always given just enough crumbs and clues to work with... like an expensive French meal, you leave the restaurant still hungry for more.

What a fabulous episode, so much going on for both the 'innies' and the 'outies'. Many challenging philosophical and ethical questions are addressed. The rights of the innies regarding their death/deletion, 'over-hours' activation and visibility of their external relationships. Outside, Mark's unravelling reveals the arrangement is not allowing his bereaved 'outie' to develop meaningful new relationships. This latter point is amplified by the final scene reveal, opening up wider moral questions.

This is skilfully shown through fine writing of the concrete plotline - the security chief, the girlfriend and Burt's fate. These are driving the increasing belligerence of the innies, both verbally and with violence.

TV at its absolute finest.

Amazing, outstanding and surely have a very good twists among it!

This episode and the next is the true climax of this show, finally we have some answers we wanted from episode 1 and now we're gonna se what our beloved characters gonna do with their new knowledge!
