EPISODE REVIEWS
Not their best episode, but I most definitely appreciate what they did. The first half of the episode just concluded the storyline from the one previous and, because the storyline from before wasn't all that complicated or emotionally intricate, it really mostly served to round out the little Ikuro focussed segments we'd been seeing. He, of course, helped out even when things looked bleak, being testament to his character and simply how nice he is for the environment he's surrounded by. The second half did something a lot more interesting, in my opinion, bringing the viewer into the perspective of a guest in the hotel, allowing us to see the beginning and end of one's stay through a lens we'd never had access to before. It was strangely sweet and well executed despite only half an episode to work with, but everything - from the perspective shifts to the use of colour bleeding at the very end - just felt so real. For sure the latter half carries this episode, but it's an overall calm and enjoyable watch.
Mrs Hughes holding Edel again broke me and I do not even like dogs that much. She thought she lost him for good. That reunion made the whole rainy search worth it
Anyone else feel the episodic stuff getting a bit squeezed this season. Edel's search wrapped so fast it barely had room to breathe. Still liked it but season one gave these stories more space
