Truth be told this was a boring episode. It was a necessary episode as it was putting pieces of the puzzle in place, but it was all boring one-color pieces.
In the old days of the series, the cultural references were fun, well-placed and judiciously used. Now, they are present in every other sentence and the vibe is: aren't we just so very clever. It's like a child actor who believes they are too-cute by half.
We also get to meet a new arrogant, smug character Bradford Luke (Babak Tafti) who will run the insufferably-arrogant Mike Prince's (Corey Stoll) campaign.
There were some bright notes, in that, Chuck (Paul Giamatti) is back in place and 'Wags' (David Costabile) is back in form. We also got to spend a lot of time with 'Axe' (Damian Lewis) and that's a very good thing.
Let's hope this episode was one to be endured for bigger and better things.
