Not bad, no. It still stirs you (the incidental music is effective there) but there are occasions where I felt the usual standard slipped, particularly in dialogue. Plot and character, it just felt a little like it was treading water, though there was an interesting insight into the character of the shadowy Masterson.
I trust Poliakoff. I feel all will be made clear come episode 5. I'm hoping for that rush that comes with a successful denouement. When all our concerns are resolved and more - much more - we are shown something.
I don't refer to plot either. I think we'll understand why it's been made in the manner it has been. I think Poliakoff is coming at this from an angle we don't yet see. Perhaps we're inside this cosy, upper class circle where niggers are tolerated so long as they're polite but deported if they're uppity and aggressive. Where people being assaulted is described as "unfortunate". Where appearance - even of tolerance - is all. Is Lester some kind of 'Uncle Tom'? How do we get rid of those loathsome Nazis? Put a black man in front off them - oh how amusing. How clever are we? Back to the party...
I'm probably way off the mark (or at least partly so) but I do think it'll all be turned around. As yet, we've only this one perspective, I feel we'll be shown another. Until then, there's enough intrigue there for me to keep on hanging on. Besides, it's sumptuous to watch!

^^ No, you were right. It was not bad, only a bit flat(er). But you can feel it "boiling" underneath.. I think it might be even intentional. I also agree that so far we are only allowed to see the way things appear.. the facade, with some hints that indicate there is a darker side (which unless he is prepared to expose would be useless).
I'm still happy!
