Superb Follow Up From The Premiere

After being shocked by a extremely good presentation, I was expecting a little let down in the next episode. But I was surprised again.

It's true that this installment is not as terrific as the first one, but is a superb follow up: keeps the audience at the edge of their seats with incredible suspense and tension in too many moments (like how Jack recognizes the sniper and how Jack finds out Tony and fights against him surprisingly soon), we can enjoy how all the characters development (how the President must face the situation in Sangala) and it builds up some coming and pretty importance events (like the face to face of Tony and Jack).

Everything surrounded by the excellence of the writers, completely new enemies and threats, interesting twists and a heart pounding cliffhanger.

Honestly, I can't wait for the next: Tony's interrogation.

9,4/10.
