This episode was certainly more interesting, as there was more happening to introduce elements to the story that might culminate in informing the audience of the truth. Yet, I think that the biggest drawback for me has been the writing. I don't think that they spent much time fleshing out how they would tell this story, and so they seem to be trying to shoehorn plot points into the story that don't really fit. In numerous episodes now, Amanda Seyfried's character has said things that simply didn't fit into the flow of the conversation she was having w/ Tom Holland's character. She pleads with him to get at the heart of the story, to tell the truth, to inform her of the details, but in his retelling of events, that's exactly what he's doing. He's not intentionally misleading her, so there's no reason for her to be saying these things. It seemed that the writers simply felt that they needed to give her lines of dialogue, and this was what they came up w/.
London was so good dipiceted in this series, even though they never filmed in London, it was very hard not notice it.
This episode really drives home the fact that Danny is an unreliable narrator and we can’t believe what he says. Episode 4 reveled so smoothly Danny’s multi personalities.
Tom Holland is basically giving the same performance that he gave in Cherry. He's not beating the bad actor allegations anytime soon.

I get they're probably trying to follow the events of this story as closely as they can, but this ended up feeling like a bit of a pointless episode. I do like how it ended though and am optimistic going forward.
