okay, I've read your comment, but I haven't read the other comments in the post. I'm kind of guessing people's mileage with this one might vary. But there was a lot in it. Technically, there was some pacing weirdness and 0_o moments.
But characterwise there was some meaty bones coming to the surface of the soup of people's emotions. Ah, Steve your issues have issues. But at least you've Danny to help -- Danny who def. has had some experience with therapists, his dialogue ('control the narrative')-his insights?
Doris -- Wow, she (a female actor) was torturing a man, after evidently beating him in a fight, either at the house, or in the torture den (was it his or hers?). Catherine and Doris having one-on-one discussion. Catherine making a poor decision, when normally she is so sensible, despite being far too amenable to Stevie’s batting of the eyelashes, even as she calls him on it.
Doris is manipulative, with a capital M.
Which takes us to Olivia – now that was manipulative, and calculating. From the outset, she set hackles rising. Thinking back, Steve jumped to massive conclusions, which were right, but was interesting that he was right when Olivia was so manipulative (cos I was thinking red herring). I think that I would have liked Kono to have been on Steve’s side, because she had seen Olivia being so calm and snide, and avoiding Steve’s questions, with her own at the start.
I actually found it hard to stay in the story because I had to analyse what was happening.
