Baffling

It took me months to come back to this show after the previous episode and for moment I thought there was a powerful, though poorly executed, lesson in it all. Like if one of the latter series of The Wire were written by a high school kid in a hurry. That was quickly ruined by yet another erratic twist. I really can't think what has come over the writers, the quality of their work here is like a bad dream compared to their earlier triumphs. The show has lost direction and lost me.
