Erdos011 January 20198/10 for the story and the acting.
+1 for the soundtracks, I really loved how they choose the music so precisely. I wish I could give it a 10/10 (why not? james spader is sooooo great) but it has few moments where the acting wasn't that great... (9.5/10 maybe emmm?)
Anyways, I'm excited to find out the truth about Tom and Berlin...
Great episode. but unfortunately not the best that can be done... -
CursedChico3 December 2020Different episode.
Nice acting by undertaker.
This show is good for showing different kind of criminals. Maybe i did not watch so much series, that is why those criminals look interesting to me. I could not guess a person from insurance company could be a killer, not exactly a killer.
In the end, he killed himself. He was satisfied that doctor would be arrested.
Liz has to be close and to pretend there is nothing wrong. She has to do also sex. It is very bad. It is like rape. I wish they could kill but they need to know what is berlin. I cant understand why raymond can find it. -
A_Different_Drummer2 February 2015Let's cut to the chase.
TV drama is about entertainment and entertainment is about connection, the ability to temporarily move the viewer to another plane of experience and generate endorphins.
The tools available to the production team are known -- actors, a story, and sometimes special effects. A little music maybe.
The story element is especially interesting. Generally this breaks down into the long act and the short arc. Take for example THE FUGITIVE, one of the standards. The long arc was simple. He was innocent. The short arc was the entanglements he got into week after week.
That was pretty much the template until the 1990s when, it is generally thought, a then-obscure writer named Joss Whedon changed the nature of TV drama by doing things with the long arc no one had ever thought possible.
In the view of this writer, it took over a decade for Whedon's vision of what TV "should be" to migrate to the mainstream. Now all shows have complexity in both the long and short arcs. That's a GOOD thing.
Which means the challenge for the writers, what makes each episode special, is the ability to keep interest in both sides of the story cooking at full boil for the entire length of the episode...? It is difficult to dance with two partners at the same time. But that is still the goal of a series's writing team. Every episode of every show.
I did the long intro above because this single episode, moreso than others, is one of the most exquisite examples of running both arcs at the same time -- we have a wonderfully creative bad guy, almost magnetic, and we have Lizzie in turnabout on her not-so-perfect husband.
And both stories are mesmerizing.
Perfection. -
mitchellhaleyou31 March 2014Well The plot as always seems to thicken. What a weaved web of deception. Every answer seems to lead to more questions. I never knew or experienced a show more like a game of chess. Is Red the grand deceiver? Is Lizzy just being sucked in by Red? Was Tom the facilitator? What twists and turns will this show take? Is my contemplation just a reflection of what the writers want the audience to perceive? Will I solve the master mystery? I truly never have a experienced a more convoluted plot in all my years of watching television. The writers are superb yet I wonder if I should just take the show at face value as the characters many times must do. Will Red be the hero the good guy or is he truly the most evil one in the history of evil? Perhaps Tom truly is the evil one? Does anybody know want to know or should we just watch? Your guess is as good as mine.

I agree with the reviewer who talks about there being more than one plot strain working. As this series has evolved there is the business of international intrigue and Tom and Liz's stories. But on a week to week basis, there have to be other things going on with this agency. Here we have a man, Milton Bobbit, who feels betrayed by the medical community, so he decides to take out those who wronged him. His method is to get terminally ill people to do the killings and remunerate them and their families (who are destitute). Milton is a fascinating character and makes this episode better. We also get into more of Tom's thing and Liz's efforts to not throw up every time he approaches her. The ending is really sort of sickening.
