    Exceptional

    I laughed out loud, cringed, and cried my eyes out in this episode - it was absolutely stunning, but also emotionally draining...

    Perfect episode of television

    This is a perfect episode of television. The writing, directing, acting. Amazing. You can even watch it if you haven't seen anything of the show. Love it.

    Brilliant Return

    Only recently watched season 1 in one sitting and was really impressed .

    Was looking forward to the new episodes to see if the dreaded second season could live up to the first but I wasn't expecting this. A darker edge to the already fantastic show. Wow . Just brilliant . Best episode yet. The acting is timed to perfection and the writing is superb. More please.

    Amazing Television

    I really enjoyed the first season and was looking forward to the return but was not expecting this.

    What an amazingly written episode. It was utterly engrossing. How they could draw such tension and subtle comedy from the claustrophobic environment of an awkward restaurant meal was brilliant.

    The Phobe Waller-Bridge was phenomenal and even the "to camera" talking worked so well. You felt everything she was feeling and often this was done through a simple look.

    Every character was perfectly cast and it was a real ensemble effort to make such a spot on episode.

    One of my favorite TV show episodes ever

    What I wrote in the title. I was just wow-ed by all the things that happened in this episode.
