    Pointless
    The stylish cinematography fails to mask the weak storytelling behind it. The episode did not move the plot forward enough, and actor performances were just enough to carry the scenes. The entire episode was boring and unnecessarily convoluted for the sake of adding pointless scenes that added nothing to the main story.
