The episode is not bad, but the ending is exquisite.
Well I’m sorry but this is just a ridiculous episode. Doesn’t belong at all. What happened for Mad Men to become that kind of show? A thing like that!
The good news is that my previous viewing shows an immediate recovery in episode 7.
Have to agree with Bandar though that the episode title is brilliant.
I mean David Brent’s
spoiler for The Office UK
takedown of Chris Finch was much more satisfying.
Andy is a fantastic addition to this show!
This was a surprisingly sweet episode.
It’s a rare 10-star episode, mainly on the basis of the exquisite last shot. But Gus’s death was flubbed IMHO. The cheesy action movie tone of his walk out of the room was all wrong.
Ok she definitely deserves to be in the Bad Place for calling it a Jif.
Coming off a second viewing of The Americans, the depressive tone fits my mood perfectly. Really well put-together first part, looking forward to the rest.
…which made me pretty flabbergasted to note the heavy involvement of Craig Zobel, whose film Compliance I caught at a film festival several years ago and didn’t care for at all – found it a nasty, creepy piece of work with unconvincing intentions.
A truly exceptional, devastating, grimy episode of television. I love and hate it.
A really good episode of a show that isn’t called ‘Better Call Saul’.
The scene where Lucia kills the congressional aide guy is really rather beautiful. It’s done very well.
That was a great twist!
Finally! The premise of the show is set up.
A simply exquisite ending to a bit of a hit-or-miss show.
Oh dear me, no, this is just bad. Firstly, the idea that Stan has always been troubled by the Jennings' dedication to their job is just not the case: he has been depicted as oblivious since just after the first episode. And to go from a raised eyebrow about the latest work crisis to interrogating their son, linking 'a white man and a white woman' with them and breaking in to sniff around, all in the space of a single episode, stretches credibility too far.
This episode would have been fine if they'd put a bit of work in and built up to it over a period of time.
The opening montage was just stunning, and so sad.
Pretty good episode. However, it would have been so much more effective if they hadn't made it obvious in the last one that Chuck wanted Ernie to tell Jimmy about the tape, by showing his satisfaction at Ernie's 'accidentally' hearing it.
Also, I'm not really interested in quite this much stuff about Mike – his backstory is a nice bonus if kept to he background, but not what I came to this show for!
I don't mind a cliffhanger, but that ending was kind of a slap in the face. The Jimmy work in the episode though was top-notch!
What a great episode! Just one thing: whyyyy couldn't Jimmy have taken his case to a rival law firm?
