I'm not sure where all the negative vibes are coming from toward Gordon -Levitt's challenging and insightful series. It's not like there are a lot of people making quality challenging drama let alone someone at his level.
He's dealt with a handful of edgy subjects in just 3 episodes and keep us guessing where it's going all along. Ie it's NOT predictable.
I wasn't sure about the musical elements of this episode but rolled with it and ultimately found it worthy. I wasn't quite sure what to make of it, and I actually think that's a good thing. It had me rethinking what I'd just watched and re-framing it.
There's plenty of garbage to watch on the box so to have someone try and take things in a different direction needs to be supported.
Plus his and all the cast members performances are spot on.
I'm in it for the duration. Keep it up.
