Whoa! Episode 6 was a quintessential reminder of why I just love spy thrillers. The classic spy reveal. Now we get into the meat and potatoes. Here we go. Even if the show somehow doesn't manage to improve, beyond this point, it won't matter; because this mid-season climax was brilliant.
J.K. Simmons has an incredible ability to play two different characters, down to the minute posturing of each character. It's amazing how there's little doubt beyond the first three words out of his mouth, which character he's playing, at a given time... despite the fact that sometimes they share the exact same attire.
From the writing, to the acting, to the directing, to the editing... this show is a flat out total production clinic.
