Let begin from the immense impact of the episodes ending ... excellent, my face was almost stuck in front of the screen and volume almost max
What made it even better was the build up during the mid section and in the first two episode and certainly the WTF moment in the beginning when I also thought I missed one episode ... though it was summed up quickly and helped to give more time for the building up to the ending.
All in all, excellent storytelling and an amazing performance from the VA
PS: and the second season has just begun
