Long linguistic opinion about other reviews: I've got to say that this episode can be disappointing if you expect your typical BM (you know, dark twist and all). In German the word ist "enttäuschend" with literally means that you realize that you were fooled (by your own expectations or by someone else) and that you realized that. And this is what happened to most negative reviewers (as far as I read or scanned their comments): They expected something else and didn't get it. Instead they got what the not as tragic and dark side of BM that started to show up around season 3. I get the Enttäuschung and the anger (and anger about a TV show is a topic I don't even want to touch in VR so close to GoT's finale).
My own opinion about the actual episode: I enjoyed this particular episode. I'm not sure about the ending, but [spoiler]the whole relationship chaos, the boring daily life suddenly spiced up, the dilemma,[/spoiler] it's all very real. And it's not flashy or twisty or morbid. Just realistic. And maybe, just maybe, that's why it's really scary. And hits close to home. Maybe too close for some.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of the season!
Post Scriptum: I don't think the "[spoiler]gay[/spoiler] stuff" (to quote other reviewers was the real point of the episode. It's about [spoiler]relationships[/spoilers].
