Critics were shown the first four episodes in advance of the release. Now I see why they loved it. While not advancing things terribly, it continues to push the walls in around the Blomquists.
The story lines here are like two reciprocal functions approaching a shared asymptote; they get infinitely closer but don't converge. I honestly don't get it; how is this going to last another 6 episodes? They'll have to do some time jumping like the last season. This means there will probably be a big mid-season episode.
The Gerhardts rivalry with the city reaches a head, and the Blomquists are pursued both by the police and the Gerhardts. Lou had a particularly potent scene with the Blomquists. The sheer number of times that someone could have done something to prevent the bloodbath that is coming is staggering. Much like Dexter in season 4, there were so many ways to avoid the tragic route, but that's the way it goes.
They are still refusing to show us Ronald Reagan. The teasing in this episode was almost unbearable. I just want to see it. We got more Nick Offerma. this episode, which is good.
