starting now

So... I'm floored.

For starters, the sound design in this episode was insane. Made the strangling scene and the Hank scene absolutely terrifying.

I haven't been so disturbed by an episode of TV in a long time.

Everything in this episode is perfect. The actors deliver strong performances. Scenario, direction, camera, sound, editing are on point.

One of the strengths of the show is the storytelling technique. In this episode, they've left out the jokes and quips. The result is a dark, gripping story that is honest, rather than exaggerated or melodramatic. That honesty is what keeps the story interesting. You can't help but feel for the characters.

I'm really looking forward to season 4.

I was litterally on the edge of my seat the entire time and I wasn't able to breathe for a few scenes. I am litterally blown away right now. I genuinely don't know what the hell is going to happen in season 4 and beyond.

This episode was so dark and twisted and shocking, I'm still processing what happened. I think it's without a doubt the best episode of the series yet and an absolutely triumph in storytelling. This episode felt like a horror show it was so dark. Season 4 can't come fast enough!

Barry continues to be a highlight of my week, and this episode once again proves it to be one of the best shows on tv. Bill Hader is one of the most talented people working in the industry, and his performance, writing, and direction are all top-of-the-line. The tension within here was absolutely masterful! Season 3 was phenomenal and was completely worth the three year wait, Season 4 can't come soon enough!
