This episode is deep. Philosophically, psychologically, emotionally. No spoilers here.... But the depth of commitment and conviction from the characters and of course the actors, this episode hits deep. Cosmo Jarvis and Anna Sawai are pure fire on screen together. Their chemistry and connection are cosmic. This episode had the power to make you literally hate certain characters. At the same exact time you will be emotionally drawn to other characters and feel deep anguishing pain. Whoever wrote this episode clearly wanted the viewers to sigh, gasp, and have silent tears. And I am a male. I am beyond disappointed that this series is only one season.
All that emotions reaching deep guts
All that integrity and pride of family
All that injustice and weakness
All that wisdom in the weakest moment
Uff.. presenting live in it's clearest picture
Friend of yesterday could be the enemy, and the person who left so early could be the one who's everything laying on him.
Life is strange, every time we think we understood it, it's proven the opposite way Makes me wonder, am i the same person i thought i am?
Dam you on that show, it is too good to makes me lost with myself.
If the final as good as this, I'm going to talk about it for long time and Officially it's best tv show ever done I thought breaking bad is the best show ever, but seriously this one takes it all
Can't wait for next final.

Epic drama.
If Anna Sawai doesn't get an Emmy nomination for that performance then they should close the Emmy's down.
The build of drama in this show is fantastic, I haven't seem much recently compare with the quality.
The settings and art direction is high quality, the costumes luxurious, but the big difference or point is the depth of the intrigue and emotion the script and actors live out.
No spoilers from me because to watch it unfold is such a delight, it would be rude to steal that pleasure.
The character Mariko is probably the strongest female character in a TV series for many years, I cannot think of any better.
Gripping viewing.

It's rare that a show can keep me totally engrossed for an hour, have me experiencing the love and divinity of ancient rites and rituals, and move me to the core by an act of love and courage. This episode did all of that.
I forgive any flaws this series may have had until now. This made the journey of the last few episodes meaningful and worth it.
There isn't anything for me to complain about this episode. The settings and angles were stunning, the dialogue was interesting, the pacing perfect. If you are one of the people who has been struggling through the last few darker episodes and wondering whether to keep going... please don't miss this one.

The intensity of the episode came in waves one after the other. The necessary content to keep audience hooked to their seats after every crest of an episodic high point. And there were many in this one.
I might not know the history of events that well, but by storytelling POV this episode worked really well. A level of taste with uncertainty and anticipation, the likes of which are rarely expressed in fiction (though here, derived from factual history), kept my heart in my mouth for the most part of the episode, peaking towards the end.
The penultimate episode of the season have brought high expectations for the final one. Looking forward ahead.
