Worst episode of the season?
We see Liz show real compassion when finding Evangeline's sister Julia having an unstable episode, leading to Liz and Evangeline connecting on a human level.
We see Hank have a genuinely heartbreaking moment, followed by what was probably the first heart-to-heart he and his son had in a long while.
It's Christmas Eve and we see little moments like Kayla and her grandmother showing Leah how to knead bread, Evangeline visiting the enigmatic Rose and seeing a whole different side of her, the romantic things Hank so naively prepared for his overseas bride-to-be,
AND we get to see one of my favorite characters, Qavvik, the only person Evangeline shows vulnerability around, and it was a fantastic scene!
Yes, these scenes aren't directly connected to and seemingly not progressing the murder investigations, but these human moments are essential to the world of the story and obviously strengthen our investment in the characters.
Yes, the acting isn't great throughout and the writing isn't the least bit subtle, but I find myself empathizing with these characters and genuinely invested in the Anne Kowtok and Tsalal Research Station murders.
