EPISODE REVIEWS

Nothing much to say about this episode, since it seems like a setup for the events that are about to take place in the next episodes, although they did slow down the pacing, it felt like the introduction to the last important characters.

The nonlinear story telling of Orb is amazing. It's insane to think the story revolve around few humans talking with each other, solely relying on dialogue alone to create tension. That said this episode is more of a setup.

This episode finally gathered enough brew to the plot. Just as thoughts accumulated for brainstorming, the story progresses. The music conveys the tension and weight of the actions the characters are taking. Embodying the metaphor of Icarus to the characters were brilliantly done
