Although I have given this episode a 10/10, there's one thing wrong with this episode.

The whole scene where Sam freaks out like a little bitch, gets eaten, Jessie screams and gets eaten, Rick pulls out his machete and lops off her hand to save Carl, and bitch Ron raises a gun at Rick and shoots Carl instead because Michonne stabs him (for being a stupid bitch) is poorly shot. In short, too much happens in a small span of time. The shooting of this sequence felt very out of place and bizarre. The shots where fleeting images of a pretty and happy Jessie peek into Rick's mind doesn't really work out well enough.

Andrew Lincoln's acting is worth praising in this episode. I want to say Chandler did a great job too but his face had a gaping hole in it so I couldn't read into his expression much when he said "DAD" after getting shot. After Carl gets to the infirmary and gets the much needed medical attention, Rick goes crazy and starts killing every single zombie with his machete. Michonne follows, and what ends up happening is essential to the story. He inspires every Alexandrian to come out of hiding and claim back their residence for the undead. In a way, every Alexandrian redeems himself/herself. Father Gabriel is finally of some use. Now I understand why he was kept alive all this while. *wink*

A lot of loose threads are tied in this episode, so I refuse to take 1 star away from this rating. Maggie and Glenn are finally reunited, the Wolf dies, Carol realises that Morgan was right and that people do change sometimes, etc. Really excited to see what happens now.

As is evident from the title of the episode, the focus is on the lives of old people.

Rachel's grandmother plays a pivotal role. Dwelling on the topic of alienation and man's estrangement in old age, this episode shows us how Americans ignore their parents and grandparents as and when they grow up.

I'm particularly fond of this episode because of its harsh reality. Whatever has been depicted is true.

Master of None, although a comedy, is proving and showing us the truth of life and American culture, again and again.

Hats off to this show!

This episode focuses entirely on the relationship between Rachel and Dev. It has some good jokes and funny moments but it is less hilarious than the other episodes I have seen.

It develops the bond between Rachel and Dev. And they have awesome chemistry. Ansari and Wells are doing an excellent job. It rarely feels fake. I'm waiting to see where this goes. This episode goes far in terms of character development.

I'm not a big fan of romantic stuff but this episode is really cute.

P.S. Haven't seen Brian in a while. What's up with him?

Watch out for ghost koala bears!

Dev is one of the best characters in any sitcom ever. Him being an Indian makes him all the more relate-able for me.

"You're cheating on me with a little Indian guy?" was just hilarious. In fact, the whole scene where Mark discovers Dev hiding in the closet and Nina cheating on him was both written and performed brilliantly.

Colin was another great thing in this episode.The Domino was a great visual effect one rarely expects in a comedy.

The only thing I believe is wrong with this episode is they don't show Brian or Benjamin. I felt they could add on to the humour with their views and/or dialogue.

Great to see guest actors like Clair Danes and Noah Emmerich!

Ansari is throwing it out of the park! This episode confronts a lot of stereotypes which are never talked about. Indians are almost everywhere on the earth and over the course of time Indians born and brought up in America lose their accents. We're still made fun of and stereotyped as little brown people with funny Indian accents.

Do we see groups rallying for this cause? No. That doesn't mean it's a minor issue. Ansari knows exactly how to tackle this issue. It's a comedy, but Ansari knows how to handle this situation and looks at it in a very comical way and makes us realize how this all works out in the US.

This episode is more meaningful than most comedy shows are. While challenging the issue at hand, we still smile and enjoy every minute with good humorous dialogue. Perfect episode.

Pilots aren't always very brilliantly done. And they are difficult to be done because they are first impressions and form the very premise of the show. MASTER OF NONE did a good job introducing the characters.

The opening sequence was hilarious. Dev doesn't even finish but goes to the medical store instead. Good guy Dev!

The two kids are brats. They were annoying. They could have used a different subplot instead of that. This might play out later, maybe it's essential to the plot or something of that sort, but if it doesn't, it could have been done away with.

A comedy isn't only about making people roll on the floor laughing or clutching their stomach from the pain of hysterical laughter, it's more about relating and making them feel for the characters. And this show seems to do it well enough.

This show has so far done well with its characters. Even for a comedy, character arcs are essential, which a lot of shows forget and focus solely on the humour content.

MASTER OF NONE delivers a strong premise, with gradually developing characters. Three episodes in, I have already become a fan. Dev's dilemma when he's unable to find a companion to go the concert with seems a bit forced to me. But it plays out well. Rachel is a good thing they've brought to the show. I'm looking forward to seeing how their paths are going to cross again and what'll ultimately become of them.

P.S. Cartman impressions were on point!

This episode focuses solely on parents and being an Indian myself, I can relate to a lot of stuff Dev said about his father and mother. At the same time, what Brian says about Asian parents not telling their sons and/or daughters that they're proud of them holds true. I am not denying the fact that they're loved, but white people are more expressive about emotions in front of their children.

The flashback sequences at the beginning of the show were fantastic and felt really well crafted to me. I'm also the go-to technology guy in my family, and hence, I really relate to this episode as a whole. This is probably why it gets a 10/10 from my side.

Since last season, I have been expecting a lot of Noah Hawley and this show. This season premiere more than lived up to my expectations. It was a great start and I'm really excited to know what happens in the next nine episodes.

The cast is great - I am especially loving Nick Offerman in his role. Patrick Wilson will do justice to the role of Deputy Solverson. And I just can't get enough of this accent!

The sound editing and the scenes have been shot perfectly. The murders at the diner was beautifully written and crafted.

Excellent start to the show!

This episode was a bit slow throughout. Regardless to say, it still ranks among the best episodes of the show.

Hannibal shows his dominance over everyone and dictates how he is still in charge even from behind bars. I had a gut feeling that Molly would be killed. Well, she survived this time although injured.

Richard Armitage just continues to amaze me with each and every episode. His portrayal of a psychopath is one of the best I have ever seen.

We see parallels from various other episodes. "They're listening" can be compared to "They know" from the very first episode of the show (when Hannibal calls up Hobbs).

With just two episodes left, I have high hopes for the ending.

Other shows which depict psychopaths and serial killers should learn from this show how to delve into the abyss of human psychology. The Red Dragon is the best psychopath (other than Hannibal) I have ever seen. Characters like Dexter Morgan don't even come near to him.

Such an artistic expression of beauty and aesthetic is rare. The progress of plot was negligible in the first 40 minutes of the show until Will Graham ran into Francis Dolarhyde at the Brooklyn Museum. The episode ended with a tense cliffhanger which is kind of a new thing on the show.

One negative thing about this episode was that Hannibal Lecter got really less screen time.

I can no longer deny the fact that this season of True Detective is as horrible as can be. Even if I forget about the glorious first season for the time being and look at this season as a new show in itself, it still sucks.

Colin Farrell's acting is the only thing I like. He's really very good. The plot progress is so slow that you can doze off for 30 minutes and still be able to follow the story.

All in all, this season is horrible. The acting is quite good but the script is just trash. A 10 year old kid could probably do better than this.

I have never seen a show which deals with human psychology better than Hannibal. This is not a TV show, it's art and beauty.

This episode shows us Francis Dolarhyde using the name 'The Great Red Dragon' for the first time. We see the effect placing himself in the criminal's mind is having on Will Graham.

Much to our amazement, we see Freddie Lounds again. Alana is intimidating although Hannibal is never intimidated. We got to see Abigail Hobbs again in flashbacks, which was refreshing.

Summing up, this episode left me wanting for more. With just four episodes left this season, I'm really intrigued to know how the Dragon storyline is going to play out.

NBC did not renew Hannibal for a fourth season and I doubt if it has any chance of survival as a television show. In this light, if this episode were the last episode of the season, or perhaps, the series, it would be one of the best series finales of all time - comparable to the likes of Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad.

This episode was set almost in its entirety on Muskrat Farm, and wrapped up the fates of all the characters (at the scene, leaving Bedelia). The Verger storyline came to an end finally with elements from season 2 coming back and biting Margot. Mason's death was, in my opinion, somewhat strange considering how the eel entered his body through his mouth. Just biting or electrocuting(though all eels don't shock) would have been a better way. Dr. Cordell Doemling met the very fate I was expecting from the start of the episode.

It's particularly amazing how Alana's character has evolved over the past two and half seasons. She's now a strong willed lady who helps Margot chalk out and execute her revenge on her sadist brother for all the torture she has faced in his hands(especially the forced hysterectomy).

The relationship between Hannibal and Will was at its height towards the end of the episode when Will specifically told Hannibal that he didn't want anything to do with him anymore. Hannibal knew he had lost a good friend. Without anywhere to turn, he surrenders and The Chesapeake Ripper is finally behind bars in Baltimore Hospital. Hannibal adds that now Jack would know exactly where he is at all time. Will's face as he raged inside was another example of brilliance in acting.

Seeing Will in his spectacles with a season 1 look was very endearing to one's eyes. Poor man has already suffered too much.

If this were the last episode of the season, it would have been one of the most gratifying hours on television. Regardless, I am very excited about Armitage entering the cast as The Great Red Dragon from the next episode, which also includes a three year jump in time. Now that sounds really really exciting, doesn't it?

Although, it's a real shame that the show still hasn't found a home for potential future seasons.

This particular episode is yet another one which stands out. We saw a remarkable progress in story and got something we were all waiting for.

THE REUNION OF HANNIBAL AND WILL

Somewhere down the line, you will actually start to feel sorry for Will Graham. One could have a horrible life but it would never match his miserable existence. He was framed for murder, arrested, then he was stabbed (gutted) by his friend and psychiatrist, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He viewed Abigail Hobbs as a daughter and he saw her throat getting slit and die before him. He then recovered, and proceeded to travel to Florence, Italy with Chiyo and she pushed him off a train.

And now, he gets shot by Chiyo. One might start to wonder how worse the fate of a character can be.

Then Hannibal starts sawing into his skull like Hannibal (Anthony Hopkins) did to Paul Krendler in Hannibal (2001).

In the last and final scene, we see him dangling upside down from a meat hook, all bloody and captured, along with Hannibal.

This episode is brilliantly written and well directed. It's a shame that we have just seven episodes left before the season (or maybe the show) comes to an end altogether.

There were viewers complaining that the show was gradually slowing down and the plot was not progressing. Well, I would like to see what they're saying now.

Single-handedly, this episode progressed the plot a lot, covered ground for almost three episodes. All the four major plot-lines progressed, mainly Wlll and Chiyoh, Jack and Pazzi, Alana and Mason and of course, Hannibal and Bedelia.

This episode is at par with the season two finale Mizumono. It left me wanting for more action and suspense.

Don't we all just love seeing Laurence Fishburne kick some ass? Amazing how the actor expressed all the pent up fury in a five minute action sequence. Even if you've never watched another episode, you can literally sense the hate seething right out of Jack's punches and kicks.

This episode had everything to make for one of the most thrilling hours of television.
