Honestly this was a below average episode. Still feels like mostly set-up, and while I understand this whole coming-of-age stuff is probably necessary, I'm really not a fan. This show is feeling more like a teen drama than a sci-fi thriller. This episode had a lot of unnecessary screen time and made use of quite a few clichés, and a lot of plot points are already looking really quite predictable. Some of the characterisation was nice but ultimately not nearly enough is being done to progress the plot. Anything relating to the plot at this current point is shrouded in mystery but that's being drowned out by spectacle-y angsty teen drama and other seemingly dead-end stuff like the town hall protests. Also, the way they figured out the transmission wasn't from Russia was very very convenient. I hope we get some actual plot very soon.
