Season 2, Episode 6
3/10
Season 1 was Better
5 May 2023
I'm watching season 2 because reviews said the first two seasons were good. Well, THAT'S not true. Season 2 is not nearly as interesting or entertaining as Season1.

Peggy Blumquist is irritating to watch. And her husband Ed is an insult to men. Your wife steals your money and you don't even yell at her? Get serious.

And how about the Blumquist's as a couple. Lou Solverson warned them both if they continued to lie that would place them in extreme danger. So what did they do? But here's where the screenwriters went to the well one too many times. After a direct attempt is made on Ed's life, Peggy and Ed STILL resorted to denial.

Now it's true that the first phase of change is Denial. However, it strains credulity to suggest that any REAL person would cling to denial in the face of an attempted assassination!

This episode is TOO stylized. In season 1, style was derived from the casting choices. Now in season 2, the filmmakers are attempting to impose a style and it feels forced . . . Not organic to the plot.

Season 1 was Better.
