Supporting is King - Episode 2 - "Episode 2"
"It's just something you say."
Part 2 of this 6-part mini series sees important development in both the investigation led by Ledroit as well as the further downfall of Vincent, now losing himself completely to his own lack of reality. While Cumberbatch portrays the role of lost-at-sea dad excellently, the character itself is aching towards becoming dangerously obnoxious. Rude and devoid from human decency can be rather enjoyable, if those characters are paralleled by different personalities. Especially when that character is the show's lead, it can become painful to behold. Luckily, the show's supporting cast offer that much needed diversity and is truly king in this episode.
Clarke Peters, playing a visually distraught landlord, is incredible. Wade Allain-Marcus is a very strong actor of which I hope we'll get to see more. And still, yet again, Gaby Hoffmann plays a role of a life-time in acting out a desperate mother, effortlessly switching through a carroussel of emotions. Benedict and McKinley continue to perform strong lead roles, with the latter enjoying some more room for character development this time around.
All in all, episode 2 simply continues where episode 1 left us. And while "Episode 2" is considerably slower than the first one, it's also an important follow up to the main plot points laid out in that first part. There are some weird decisions in terms of plot development, but as it's still early on in the show, I shall hold my breath before concluding anything. The show's pacing feels good enough still, and while the 80's-setting is forgettable most of the time, it also functions as a fine backdrop for Eric's landscape. Part 2 scores a very respectable 7 out of 10, and continues to inch me closer to the next episode.
