Adeline now feels that the town is too small for her; she decides to set off for the Big Apple, but before she can leave, she has to find a girl for Eddie.

I'll start with the positives: it's visually wonderful, I think the production team deserves huge credit, plus I think the acting is spot on; Charlie Hunnam is so good.

I've enjoyed the show up until this point, but this mid-point episode was a massive let down, it seemed to just wander off on several different tangents.

I'm going to have to slate the writing here; it's just a mess, it feels so loose and messy; this one's all over the place and full of inconsistencies; Adeline felt like a totally different character. They're trying to tell multiple stories; it's effectively filler.

Was Eddie obsessed with Christine Jorgensen or Ilse Koch? I don't ever recall that being part of his makeup; was he really inspired? I get the impression they went there for other reasons.

I mentioned previously that I thought this should have been called An Eddie Gein Story; this one had some good moments, at times it was downright disturbing, but it felt almost cartoonish at times.

A mess.

4/10.

This is one of those episodes that is going to sit with you for a very long time. If you are a true horror fan, this is one of the greatest pieces of horror cinema I've ever seen. If you are a casual Netflix crime drama lover that's more here for the drama then the horror, you will be absolutely disgusted by this episode. There have been very few movies, shows, pieces of media that have made me truly uncomfortable to watch, truly horrified, this was one of them. Well done.

This season is all over the place. There are too many important characters, Hitchcock, Koch, the actor from Psycho, then the Leather face storyline. It needs to focus more on Ed, they could mention these characters without going into too much detail.

The voice of Ed is kinda annoying also. Great acting and Laurie though. I guess I just preferred the previous 2 seasons.

A tough, often very uncomfortable, brilliant 45 minute watch, with fearless performances throughout.

Charlie Hunnam deserves the utmost praise for throwing absolutely everything into this role; he completely disappears into it.

Even though the story is heinous, it's done so well, and the direction is fantastic with the beautiful and often ugly music really adding that icing on the cake

9/10.

Did the writer forget how they write the characters or did they just decide to completely change the character after five episodes?

Zero consistency. I get it's fiction and they were taking lots of liberties, but I was in until this episode lost me.

Also, Gein isn't Hannibal Lector, he's Buffalo Bill. Starting to get annoyed.
