lunch at Steirereck, Vienna. next level.

unfortunately the soundtrack does that Hans Zimmer thing of being occasionally musically interesting but mostly dull and overbearing

It wasn't played for laughs? Except the rum bit and a spot of Sam being Sam, Iain Glen did a super good job of acting being in agonising pain, and I don't really get the pus = hilarity formulation.

by the end of the show it's full Carcetti
