There may be a certain expectation, on the part of viewers, for showrunners to keep their most expertly crafted -arrows- in the holster until the very end of the season, but still: this beauty of an episode, with its daring, even experimental narrative structure, truly left me in awe. And while criticism was often directed towards Charlie being reckless and unprepared when confronting the culprits, they here go their own, completely unexpected way of showing her vulnerability as a young woman on the run. Anyone claims -I saw that coming-, well, you know the answer to that^^
Here's me hoping to succeed in not spoiling too much when I say that chapter 9 of this little gem of a crime series has gorgeous cinematography and a lovely setting (Fargo & The Shining come to mind), yet another round of impeccable guest actors (boy do I love JGL in THAT nasty role for a change!), amazing, positively mind-boggling storytelling, and the already signature slick humour mostly transported by the witty dialogue of the main character.
To me, this is Rian Johnson at his finest and one (way too short, or so it feels) hour of unmitigated enjoyment for crime buffs.
