Crimson Sky

Incredible episode, this is what the series has been building up to... I do not want this show to end!

Incredible acting with Incredible writing truly impressed.

I do not normally give reviews for TV shows (this is my first review on imdb, probably).

I had to give this episode what it truly deserves: A perfect score of ten out of ten.

I truly hope this show never ends, just give us 25 Seasons already!

Watching this was like watching game of thrones, but in a completely different language and setting, absolutely brilliant.

They deserve all the emmys, golden globes;; even Grammys. Brilliant, just brilliant.

Probably among the best episodes of TV anywhere, anytime. This series has been fantastic and I personally think the pacing so far has been perfect, not every episode has to knock you off your feet. It's up there with the best of the Sopranos, The West Wing, 18th and Potomac episode, The Wire and The Bear, Fishes episodes. But it's only taken 9 episodes so far to entrance you. Each character draws you in and you feel for them and mourn for them even when they have considerable flaws. But this episode encapsulates everything. The build up of tension and release's, possible betrayal, possible redemption and at no time ever being certain as a viewer what the outcome might be is exquisite. Wow.

A Masterful episode! A highly intense episode, brimming with tension, anticipation, and eagerness to discover the next step. The inner conflict among the characters, and the unprecedented dramatic escalation in this episode, is unparalleled.

Mariko's character is filled with emotions, feelings, thoughts, and philosophy. I believe she is one of the strongest dramatic characters in a series this year. This episode has made me consider rewatching the entire series after the release of the final episode next week.

I believe this series will remain in the memory and in the history of drama for a long time, perhaps for years to come, and it will become difficult to compare any other work of the same caliber to it.

This has to be one of my favorites episodes in all my years watching tv. Great cinematography, great writing, great acting, this has to be an all time high for quality tv.

I won't spoil anyone, but let me say that the attention to detail is close to perfection, the pace, the timing, the choreography, everything is masterfully crafted.

I don't think I have anything bad to say about the episode. I never read the book, never saw the previous series, so I can't talk about accuracy to the original story, but given how well this episode is, does anyone cares?

In a time when everything is a competition over the best CGI, it is absolutely refreshing that the director was able to pull something that felt so real, so profound and yet so entertaining. Not sure how long the episode was, but felt like 5 minutes.

I think I'll go into hibernation for a week in order to endure the torture of having to wait 7 days to watch the final episode.

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.
