I find that the hand-held camerawork in this episode can be such a distraction - but not necessarily a bad one.

To me, the "turd in the shower" scene always reads like a scene straight out of Matthew Weiner's "Mad Men" playbook - that is to say something that strains credibility at first glance, but whose ultimate intent is to shock the audience and characters from passivity into a recognition of the events surrounding this…
