EPISODE REVIEWS
The first half was a little funny in its own way. Other than the food, which looked extremely delicious, the biggest merit of this episode was the conversation between Gruyere, Wein, and Ninym. The talks about God and scriptures--- it's definitely the highlight of this. There's a mild surprise after, though, which I honestly think ruined the entire conversation. But if they're taken as two separate things--religious and political-- I think the merit stands.
Not gonna lie, the hospitality part was lowkey hilarious 😭 Poor Wein looked like he was fighting for his life wkwk... But once the diplomacy kicked in, the episode got really interesting. I like how this show keeps making political strategy feel way more intense than actual battles.
Hmm, as a penultimate episode I feel it's somewhat lacking. The tension and ante is there but the way they build it feels underwhelming and a bit too sudden for my liking. They could've shown more of Gruyere character in this episode or his daughter but I also can't deny this episde served it's purpose. 6/10.
