Whenever I start an HBO show, I often think it's too much of a slow burn, stuff takes too long to actually happen and it's gonna be a while before it gets good, sometimes I'm right about that, and sometimes it gets good much sooner. Even before Omar finally shows up, I was so much more invested in this episode than the previous two, it felt like things were actually happening and there was genuine buildup. I found myself paying very close attention to the dialogue and situations now, especially when they became more symbolic and stuff from previous episodes had major consequences. I even found De'Angelo teaching his cronies how to play chess was really interesting. I'll definitely keep trying it.
