I found it rly boring except for maybe the final 10 minutes. I’m not sure how to feel just yet. It’s only now starting to follow a plot, so you gotta be patient I guess.

I found it more engaging than the previous episode, probably because the plot feels more focused and there’s less meandering. Wilson remains the best thing about the show by far. She was mind-blowing in this scene. That inflection in her voice, that rage… chilling. Keen felt more inexperienced than usual as a result though.

The second episode was even better. I can’t wait for the 2 final episodes!

Best episode yet, so probably critics are rigth about episode 3 and 4 being better than the first two. Ruth Wilson easily the MVP.

Wilson continues to be the MVP of the season apart from maybe in Ep1 (that was McAvoy).

I am a little behind, watched episode 4 today, but need to say: the critics are definitely right. It was the best episode. Not totally great, but things are getting better.
