This episode unfolded with the same mastery as an episode of Bron/Broen, captivating and full of dynamism. The only slight misstep was an excessive dependence on the "blocked communication" trope.
In this episode the heroine, Kate Ashby becomes self-righteously aggressive and steps over the boundaries of decorum. Which places the viewer in a state of anxiety. How are we supposed to empathize with this character when she's clearly placing herself and others in danger?
Of course, this dilemma is resolved by the end of the episode but not before several tense scenes play out. I don't know what those commentators who said this series was "boring" were talking about. This episode certainly wasn't.
We also learn Kate's family and associates have been hiding substantial secrets from her. I suspect many more secrets will be revealed as this story unfolds.
Looking forward to watching the next episode.
