Definitely one of the best opening episodes I've watched in my entire life. Sublime, on the same level as a good cinema film. Tense, melancholic, well directed, great night photography, impeccable script and the icing on the cake: "Into Dust", Mazzy Star's masterpiece as the background soundtrack for a key and spectacular scene for the entire story.
Riz Ahmed delivers a brilliant performance, in the exact measure that the character demands, without exaggerations and grimaces, just as Sofia Black-D'Elia's participation is perfect.
As interesting and good as the rest of the series is, it never reaches the level of this first episode, which is far above average.
Rating 10 out of 10 for a TV series episode.
