EPISODE REVIEWS

I thought the episode was good, but it felt a bit rushed. They portrayed Victor as someone completely out of reach, only for him to decide to become Yuri's coach by the end of the episode. Everything else was great, though.

Episode Context

As the series premiere of a 12-episode run, this episode exists entirely to lay groundwork, establishing Yuuri's emotional state, his relationship to skating, and the key figures in his orbit including childhood friend Yuuko and champion Victor Nikiforov. It plants the seeds for the central dynamic between Yuuri and Victor that will drive the entire season. Everything here is setup: Yuuri's crisis of confidence is the launching pad for a journey of reinvention and connection.
