This episode is the opposite of what we’ve all come to know as Marvel. It’s a small, mostly self-contained, and tightly written character-driven story.
It’s written so insanely perfectly that you just have to marvel, pun intended, at the mastery of screenwriting on full display. This episode’s visual language is also something to commend greatly, with such a small budget, it’s a wonder that something this beautifully shot could be made. The themes are dark, and the subject matter is deeper than what you’ve come to expect for this show. The maturity in storytelling is astounding. Unlike this review, it doesn’t mince words to reach a character minimum.
