I feel so blessed for being alive in this time to be able to revel at this astonishingly stellar piece of art. Never before have I seen a spin-off prequel be as good as the original show I consider to be the best of all time.

I wasn't at all expecting a lot of the events of this episode or at least the timing of it. It's a shocker. My only worry is what they'll now do in the next 5 episodes after the way things turned out, to match the fierce level of suspense in Point & Shoot. The expectations grow bigger as we approach the finale. But this is Vince Gilligan we're talking about and in Vince I trust in to sweep me off my feet.

This is definitely a contender for the best episode of the season alongside Plan & Execution and Rock & Hard Place.

The haters are either kids or grown-ups who enjoy tv shows where there's no intricate story nor any rich characters but only mindless action like the way it was in Money Heist season 4. This was a joyous and enchanting 40 mins or so of television where we got to personalize with both the Lokis and journey with them. I watched it twice already. This is not a movie people. It's a tv show, so calm your adrenaline craving hormones and learn to appreciate some art.

Season 1 gets a 9 from me but it's unfortunate that in the next 3 seasons the writers get sloppy and somewhat disjointed. Still the cast performs consistently brilliantly throughout the whole show which is why I am giving it an overall 7. In short, the first two seasons are worth watching as season 2 concludes season 1's deliciously dark story arc even though if not on the most satisfying level. Seasons 3 and 4 are very repetitive and it would be better to invest that time watching something else.

I can't believe Joe Penhall & David Fincher had to cancel the show due to a lack of viewership apparently. As far I know it did have a big fanbase. It's so sad considering how top-notch every single element about the show was. It's gonna be hard to find another psychological thriller of this level.

A stunning, creepy, unsettling and very underrated thriller. It's hard to come across unique stories like this that haunts you days after the credits roll. That ending was quite unexpected and the performances from the actors were phenomenal all around. Wish more people appreciated this delightful craft.
