Different points of view, one ending, there are 3 episodes left, go for them Frank
Ohh boy, that's a 10/10 right there.
Kudos on trying something different with the narrative structure. But that failed miserably.
First the beginning is a miss. It's more like "Did I miss an episode or something ?" If would have worked better without the intro.
Then the repeating narrative is interesting only if we see differences and progression. But here the only difference is that Karen corrects the Senator painting himself as more heroic. That's it.
Afterwards they seem to abandon the concept halfway. There are no longer two versions to compare. And it's also pretty much chronological.
Madani's part is totally independent.
We don't get Russo's version before (when it could have been compared to Madani's).
We see Lewis when he is alone (which breaks the talking to the cop narrative), then some of if could be considered Frank's version.
If you're going for a weird narrative, even if you fuck it up, at least stick with it ! This was a total mess.
One thing, does Frank actually encourage him to blow himself up at the end ?
There is actually one important thing happening in this episode: Frank and Madani know that Billy is part of it. And it's totally wasted because we don't see his version, which would have been the most interesting part. Why did he act this way ? Was the slim chance to finish it worth the risk ? Did he take this decision alone ? This should have a lot of consequences.
My favorite episode so far. I love this method of story telling.
Easily the worst episode in what's a pretty awesome series so far. I don't know whose idea it was to do this "artsy" in medias res structure for the episode, but it didn't work. At all. It killed all the momentum, the pace, the hype, the tension; all of it gone.
We saw the conclusion before we saw what happened; there was no payoff, no stakes. The pathetic attempt at a "mystery" about what happened felt like pure padding. It bored me to sleep.
There's nothing this episode accomplished with the in medias res structure that couldn't have been achieved better by having it be in chronological order, like the previous episodes. What's more, using this structure actually hurt the episode. Here's hoping the following episodes don't do this again, cause I was having a great time up to 9.
Worst episode by far, one of the only times i think the show would have benefited from not placing sequences out of order
Daniel Webber is gonna get typecast as the crazy PTSD ridden soldier with this and his potrayal of Oswald in 11.22.63. But boy if he doesn't kill it in both roles. Fantastic actor,
I loved this episode. I feel that the whole, "we'll show you a sequence of stuff, out of order .." has been over-done so much recently. However, with this episode I felt that they were able to get past that annoyance and give one kick ass episode. Frank Castle is one bad ass mother f'er
A filler episode in what is without a doubt the best Marvel Netflix creation up to this point, I am sincerely saddened to see this as the most appreciated episode so far, they managed to make a turning point of the plot, something diluted and slow just to respect the running time, so far the series has been spectacular and I trust in the last 3 episodes, but I'm honestly annoyed by this off-course choice
not sure if i like how this is structured, but it’s definitely different.
Learnt that he isn't what other's say he is and yeah we can see that but did we came here to see that?
A lot didn't like this episode but it was really good. Just a bit drawn out but good.
That's awesome right there. Thumbs up
This episode revolves around the attack on a prominent politician from different point of views. Frank gets involved to save Karen despite the conspiracies that he's a terrorist along with Lewis. Madani discovers the hard truth that Billy was responsible for Sam's death but that story ends there for now. At the end, Lewis ultimately decides to take his own life. The conservation between Karen and the Senetor raises the discussion on gun violence which is a prominent issue reflected in our current society.

What a load of crap! When there's finally some action they manage to make that boring as well by rehashing the same event over and over again.
