I think anybody that perceives a drop-off in quality from the Saulnier to the Sackheim/Pizzo episodes is doing it to themselves, but I can see why somebody would be falling off this show in general. If you're here trying to figure out the mystery/crime and that's it, there isn't a lot there on the surface. Me personally, I could be reading Reddit theories on why Amelia is the killer for hours, but the show doesn't give you much of that on its own.


The acting, directing and writing for me is really, really awesome, though. The only thing I've really been let down by so far is that the C4 explosion was the kicker for episode 4; this series usually doesn't shy away from doing the damn thing and episode 4 has been the episode where they do it, so I found it kind of cheap to use that expectation as an ellipses this time around. Watching Greyeyes (the actor that plays Woodard) sprint barefoot was almost enough on its own, though.


That dinner scene between Amelia and Hays was WILD if you're in on the various sub-conspiracies flying around the internet.
