Im so glad this season started off with a bang. S1 was (alongside AOT S3 and Breaking Bad S5), my favourite ever season of a show. I was worried this season wouldnt be able to capture that same special feeling.
The music montage after the intro was beautiful, followed by really good character interactions between cait vi and cait jayce. They easily could have made this an aftermath episode but it established a lot action and storywise, not just focusing on the explosion itself but even furthering viktors storyline and the upcoming war in an efficient way
The entire episode does not let up on the dark and atmospheric tension. The action sequence close to the end was especially exhilarating. Cait and Vi also have some amazing character development in different ways by the end of the episode.
A big disappointment was how they handled the aftermath of jinxs explosion. I wished they had shown us the destruction and characters pov in real time, but it cut to the aftermath and the destruction was much less than expected. There is potentially an explanation for this but as it stands this felt really underplayed.
Overall this was definitely better than episodes 1-5 of arcane bar episode 3 of course. The pacing was on point and the cinematic feel was really well done. If they keep this momentum and dont jump the shark story wise in the remaining episodes Arcane will secure its legacy as one of the greatest shows ever made.
