Pretty good episode

Don't understand the reviewers who say this is a boring show and nothing happens. It's a slow burn, which is what it's meant to be. That doesn't mean it's not good it means it's not the type these reviewers like that's all.

This was a gripping episode, several very important pieces of the puzzle came to light and it ended on a real cliffhanger, which I can't wait to see the conclusion of.

Things I like about this series include getting an insight into the lives of indigenous Alaskans, it shows a lovely culture of community and care.

What I don't like is Danvers lack of understand for her step daughter. If it was me I'd have walked out and never looked back but Leah hasn't yet. I feel like in the end Danvers is going to say she tried to keep her under control because she was scared of losing her. If that's the case it will be a lot obvious, if she doesn't then I'm not sure I understand that character much at all.

This episode was a lot to take but I can't wait for the conclusion. The acting here is excellent. Love the story and pacing and dialogue.

What I can't understand is people who don't enjoy it watching week after week only to come and complain that it's too slow. It's a genre, if it's not for you just say you like shows that are in your face and spell out the subtext for you instead of complaining about this excellent - female driven - show that is riveting, thoughtful and very intense.
