Tilting At Windmills
We're stepping in to some very odd waters here, and that's not me just falling for the tilting camera angles.
This was the slowest one yet, and is there to flesh out some of the meanings of why everyone is here. If someone is batch watching this it'll work better in a sandwich of the previous and likely next episodes. It's important, though, as motivations are set in stone, which is a very nice upending, because it meant that the first episode was free of needless exposition.
That first episode's lack of exposition and this episode's modicum of it told us that the writer(s) is(are) ensuring that we were hooked in to start with some prime action and a good hit of the strange power at work here then bring the story in. I like how they're approaching this show we're adults, we're able to get the main things required for us to invest in characters without knowing everything about them. You can drip feed us, but we do need significant portions when you do.
Mostly I'm glad this isn't monster of the week with a trickle of story, and is (instead) a good¹ monster of the season, and a meaty story. I'm till not sure who to root for and where to pull joy from this (Negga is scrumptious, though, in her portrayal) so I'm in for more of this now. Sign me up.
¹ As in good guy, I think, inside Jesse.
