Not only the best in this sub-series to date but one of the most enthralling TV productions I have ever seen.
In my reviews I am careful not to heap praise where not deserved, but also careful to acknowledge excellence.
The original series, Blood and Sand, was not merely good, it was a milestone. Writing and acting fought one against the other for supremacy like the gladiators of the arena. True Purpose was simply to entertain.
The second season was handicapped because of unfortunate circumstances involving the star, but that "flashback" saga was more than competent.
The first four episodes of this series have been on the weak side. Lacking traction. But that slight is remedied fully by this episode, which holds the eye from beginning to end.
Wow.
