    My first review of the series

    Five minutes into this episode, I knew we were in for another doozy. The off-kilter pacing and the skin-itching uneasiness lying below the surface gives rise to a creep factor that is as ephemeral yet everpresent as Haller's adversary himself.

    How this episode managed to frame the essence of everyone's desire for peace and solace nestling in the ichor of dementia and terror was quite unsettling, nay disturbing.

    And that painful yearning for a message, an answer, a sign that they unconsciously know is there but can't quite put their finger is delivered courtesy of Hiro Murai's extraordinary ability to turn even the most mind bending tale into a vivid, piercing performance.

    I will get around to reviewing the other episodes, especially the epic episode 5, but this was just too outstanding to wait until the end of my binge.

    Right, off to watch Ep 7.

    Aubrey plaza

    This sixth part is a mind trip that features some great scene stealers by Lenny or the great Aubrey Plaza that would shame a parks and recs fan with her "dance scene" and other brilliant scene.

    After the incredible part 5 (which may be the best episode tied maybe with 1), the sixth is a mind fuc$ in her arterial plane directed by the legendary Hiro Murai who directs so many famous episodes (look it up). Lenny is casted superbly and part 6 showcases Aubrey Plaza talents and why she is essential to this show! 8/10

    Amazing

    Episode 6 was for me by far the best episode of the season. Scrap that.. it was the best episode I've seen out of any show probably since Red Wedding. Mind blowing story and script and definitely worth watching. The back and forth dialogues are brilliant. This episode makes you question your original theories on the show. I haven't seen storytelling like this before. Absolutely brilliant!!

    You can safely skip this one. I recommend you do.

    This shows been awesome, but this episode immediately kicks off as a time waster. Roles completely change, and rather than spending minutes in an alternate reality, the whole episode drags like an oversized wedding dress. The moments are well done as always but JUST GET TO IT ALREADY. We are beyonddd understanding the powers and delusions David Haller has. Some things are confusing due to depth, like Inception, but it can be figured out. This episode was just confusing on purpose. The following episode gets into gear right away! And I mean you get it all laid out in front of you, within minutes! This episode was a waste. Watch 5-10 minutes of it and skip to the next.

    What a waste of an episode

    I have liked the show so far for it's unusual quirkiness, but this episode was a total waste of time... It did not further the story in any way whatsoever and left me completely unimpressed with characters, writing and (almost non-existing) special effects. Just hope that this was the only dud in season 1. Dear reader/viewer, you can safely skip it, save yourself some time!

    • Trivia
      According to the original Clockwork uniform system, the Summerland crew's dangerousn/colour code in the institution is designated as follows: Melanie & Ptonomy are red (high risk of violence) Cary and David are yellow (mild to moderate risk of violence) Syd and Kerry are white (no risk of violence).
    • Goofs
      In Chapter 6, when Syd enters the common area of the mental hospital, she focuses on Cary and Kerry playing table tennis for a moment. A closer look reveals that the actors are only pantomiming and don't actually have a ball. Table Tennis sound effects were added in post production to cover up the goof and, a few moments later, the two are shown again playing with a real ball.

      David Haller: People always talk about the depression side. But it is the other side, that invulnerable feeling. It's dangerous.
