Much if this show so far has been disjointed and muffled with thick accents that are hard to understand (added with foreign language with zero subtitles).
However the show still shines. The acting is phenomenal. The cinematography is superb
All that aside, this episode was powerful. Everything that is good about this show shined through. And the things that detract from it were almost completely absent. The typical disjointed plot was straight forward this episode. And it culminated in an episode that stirred emotion within the viewer.
As I approach the end of the show, much if the muddled plot parts in the beginning is starting to take focus. Unlike many shows that start so slow...this show starts at full pace assuming you know the story. I hich is why I think it is both magical and clumsy film making...all at the same moment. Few shows have led me to be so turned inside about how good it is and frustrated at parts that make it be perfect.
And as one that rarely likes British shows (or at least until they are rewritten in America), this one stands out. I'm not saying either country is less or more in film, just different countries have cultural norms to account for. And this BBC production did a really good job at understanding American history and our telling of it. Great job!!
