Everybody already knows that Escobar is dead in real life, and the showrunners have been forthright and vocal about the fact that Moura won't be back next season, so Escobar's death must end this season. It's been talked about all over the place, so I don't think he spoiled a thing.

An expatriate is anybody living in a country other than that of their citizenship. So all immigrants are also expats until they have citizenship in their new country, but not all expats become immigrants. :)

Tyrell is Elliot's estranged, violent brother that the parents used to keep in the truck during family outings.

"If you were more self-aware you'd see just how trite and cliche your responses are."

Ahh.. here come the personal insults. The final resort of the tiny brain that can't properly defend it's incorrect and unoriginal observations.

You think this is "raging"? It's not even close.

Agreed. Esmail is doing a great job replicating other directors (or styles - especially the '70's paranoia thrillers like The Parallax View or The Conversation), but he hasn't yet developed as distinctive a style of his own as have some other writer/directors, such as Fukunaga or Rian Johnson or Jeremy Saulnier, etc.…

Yep, that definitely foreshadows tying up the owner of the house.

How are you going to question the society you live in when you work 60 hours a week and have some cool shit?

Darlene is like Albert Einstein compared to Debs. But I will give Dexter this accolade: of all the Showtime series that drag out for 3 or 4 more seasons than they should, Dexter was the king of them all.

I couldn't disagree more. I didn't "know" any of those things, and it seems (from all of the comments I've read), neither did many (if not most) other viewers. I think it was an excellent episode for a variety of reasons.

Excellent episode; both tense and shocking (never saw the intentional murder coming), and enlarged the world of the show. Great shots and tightly edited. Fantastic soundtrack throughout. The grade here is simply wrong; as a complete episode - servicing the ongoing story arcs, but also a strong standalone chapter- this…

Yes - but a normal first-degree murder trial in a big city would probably take 12-16 months from arrest until beginning of trial. So expediting it might mean 4-6 months instead, but I doubt any shorter than that.

Remember that there was the whole plea-bargain arrangement, and when it fell through, the prosecutor would have had to prepare for trial. That whole process would have required several months - not weeks - to occur.

Nope - but perhaps on some other form somewhere else in the episode. Also, April is a little late in the year (although not an impossibility) for the amount of snow that was on the ground in some shots in Manhattan.

Security camera or not, there is no way that proves Naz was involved in that murder. Let's pretend Naz wasn't involved, but just happened to go to the guard booth at that moment. What would be the difference in the security footage?

I just re-watched that scene when Box is filling in his pension form, and there is absolutely no date anywhere.

I interpreted the kiss as underscoring one of the main themes of the series: the fact that everybody - Andrea, the police, the prosecutor, Naz's parents, the public, Chandra (and the viewing audience) - keeps seeing in Naz the specific things that they want to believe in. Bad girl Andrea saw Naz as the good boy, and…

Also… it's a comic book, people!! The scene was surprising, twisted, and darkly funny… more so because you all of a sudden saw it coming. I wasn't expecting Emily to lead someone to their death when she broke bad, but I most certainly expected her to break bad: they had clearly set up her character as someone with the…

I really think it simply boils down to your own personal feeling about an actor. I don't (and never did) perceive either McConaughey or Nicholson as a 'badass' (although I'd agree about Bronson), and although I don't have strong feelings either way about Dominic Cooper, I've never seen him in anything before so I'm…
