The After Hours

If the penultimate episode of the season had this much tension I fear how intense the finale is going to be.

This episode did a great job at both paying things off and setting things up for the big finale similarly to S1's second to last episode.

Lot's of emotions this episode and I have to admit I almost teared up a few times; the way it tackles these themes of innocence and the continual ones of individuality are especially potent this episode.

Some brilliant performances this episode, this show better sweep the Emmys because it deserves to!

Overall fantastic episode, one of the best of the season, hoping next week reaches the heights of the first season's finale.

We finally return to catch up with our four friends in MDR, but this episode suffers from lack of major plot advancement for being so late in the season. The show has so little character development this season compared to last. We've gotten some background information, and that's fine, but I feel like the plot-driven aspect has slowed down compared to season one. If the show isn't plot-driven, and has mostly stopped being character-driven too, then what's left? The mystery? That's it? The mystery alone isn't enough to make a great show, but that's pretty much all the show has been for the majority of the last handful of episodes. It's getting frustrating.

Of course, a great episode of setup is only as good as the following payoff. But this episode is superb, managing to set up a huge season finale while also progressing the plot and giving us exciting new plot points to push us forward.

The penultimate episode of season 1 had this uneasy and tense feeling, and that is dialed up to 11 here, especially with a consistently stressful score.

Milkshake finally seems to snap (Tramell Tillman is incredible), Adam Scott also gets a lot to chew on, and i think every characters plotpoint went in an extremely interesting direction. Cobel gets, ironically, more interesting things to do in this than in her own episode last week. Helly and Dylan have huge cliffhangers that i also can't wait to see resolved.

So ready for the season 2 finale. Not ready for the wait for season 3.

So good. I had to leave another review for this weeks...everything from last week to now is going exactly how it should in my opinion at least haha. It gives you exactly the information needed and just enough to leave you also wondering for what WIll happen...:)) lots of people expecting so much to happen and to be revealed but also at the same time this sets up the perfect episode for the finale and sooooo on :)))!!:) I think they really did it phenomenally same as the last week with harmony's (cobels) episode. You should all watch this you won't be disappointed:] have a good night/morning. Ps Irving you are my fave.

Can we be Innocent Again? I think that is the question asked in The After Hours. And honestly, I don't know the answer. What an Amazing and emotional Episode. After all these characters have been through, this was a particularly low blow. After the last 2 weeks, it was nice to have the main cast back. But things aren't as life and Lumon are dragging our characters down. I won't spoil anything, but this was some amazing TV with some great performances. Honestly, it was like watching a movie between the amazing visuals and the amazing character development. Zach Cherry kills it as Dylan G. His performance was so good. Also, Tramell Tillman Needs all the awards for Mr. Milchick. It was also interesting to see Miss Huang get some character development. Adam Scott's sarcasm kills me. John Turturro and Christopher Walken are a match made in heaven, and the tension between them is so good. Brit Lower is so good as Helly R and Helena! I feel so bad for Helly and can't wait to see what happens next. I can't believe there is only one episode left this season. This entire season has been perfect, and I can't wait until next week. If only I could be severed to speed up the time. ;)
