The mystery continues a slow burn with more eerie moments and character establishment.
There have been comparisons made to the work of David Lynch and I feel it clearly in this one. I feel the underlying dark secrets lurking below the surface of the community as if they were barrels of toxic nuclear waste. This makes it quite compelling and makes me want to find out more.
I used the word "implausibility" loosely in the review title, as this is after all sci-fi fantasy, so it's best not to take certain plot details too seriously. In this I refer to certain aspects of behaviour shown that make characters fit the "too stupid to live" trope and (if it exists) the similar one I call "too stupid to be parents". Given the premise established in the previous episode, we see instances of characters wandering alone in the woods, walking alone or causing young children to be in a position of having to walk home alone. Some of this is a stretch and requires a liberal suspension of disbelief.
As in the previous episodes the cinematography, lighting, art design and sounds come together to create a tremendously effective atmosphere.
I rate this one as a 7.5/10, but like to round upwards.
