The Way Out

I can only throw superlatives at this practically perfect episode in this bonkers, but wonderful series. The while vibe here is packed with menace, urgency, and a sense of time running out for both Nadia and Alan.

I loved the sense of loss throughout, people and furniture vanish with each death, but more then that, the pair are somehow reconciling themselves with personal losses.

I don't need to explain just how good this was, other then, I didn't touch my phone, flinch, and my coffee went cold, it is THAT good. 10/10

I watched the trailer for this because it autoplayed when I logged in. Gave the first episode a chance cause it looked quirky and funny. Kept going and what started out as a dark comedy evolved into something much deeper and more interesting than I had ever expected. Absolutely fantastic end to the season, and I absolutely can't wait for more.

Things get weirder, we see Nadia as a child with her mother and learn more about her past. The resurrections are becoming less repeatable and people are vanishing each time. A great build up to the finale- I hope it can deliver on wrapping this up.

"The Way Out" is a tremendously gripping episode, plunging Nadia into the pit of despair before realisation hits her that there could be an escape route from this ghastly Groundhog Day.

With emotional flashbacks to Nadia's past, there are disconcerting moments but there is hope on the horizon.

With the chaos around them, it is Nadia with her computing knowledge who provides a plausible explanation of what is going on. The orange might be rotting from the outside but slice it in two, it is ripe inside. Time is moving differently.

However each time, Nadia resets back to the bathroom at her party, there are less and less people. It looks like people are disappearing.

Nadia is haunted by her childhood memories and her mother's breakdown.

Alan resolves to be a better person and explains to Beatrice that he failed to see the signs that their relationship was in trouble.

A clever, troubling and enthralling episode with splatterings of blood and horror. The flashbacks to Nadia's childhood with her mother obsessed with buying watermelons has touch of Kubrick about it.
