Good to see beginning the story of this couple as a transaction, a series of entities with their own positions and lives being affected by one choice, and then the episode instead chooses to focus on what happens in the background of that transaction: a man dealing with his identity (technically, Refn touching the same ground in Only God Forgives) only to end in the same systematic oppression but instead of violence is through sex and gender roles impose by these individuals.

Shit is about to hit the fan. I'm having trouble with writing lengthy comments, I always have, not just with this show and its episodes, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. That may not be worth much or apparent much given that frustrating, general problem of mine, I'm aware. It is unfortunate, but I can't seem to do anything about it, not that I'd even know where to start, and even if I did, I doubt any progress would be made.
