it has been a a very long time that i watch an episode directly again, it was either breaking bad or game of thrones when i did that, but this standalone episode is just incredible. it makes it even more bizarre since the rest of the season 2 is so ridiculous bad. when i was watching episode 7 i really thought am i watching a different series? this episode is like watching a larger part of inglorious bastards first 20 minutes with Christoph Waltz. you get that kind of quality in a whole episode. if you have prime watch the episode and forget the rest, because if you think you get that kind of quality in the rest of the season you are very much mistaken.

rest of the season is like watching a bad steven seagal movie only acted much better, just waste of incredible talent on such a terrible script. so the first 3 minutes of episode 7 is a bit of the main series so skip that, but when it starts with the old couple that is where it starts and just watch and be amazed. if only the whole season was like that. then people who be talking about it as much as the last of us.

also brought me on an idea why they do not create a serie with standalone episodes like that? it could be incredible.

Technically it's "A God Walks Into Abar". It's a pun.

It’s very good.

I liked the rest of the season though. It reminded me nothing off a bad Steven Seagal movie.

come on. nothing made sense. the whole script was just horrible. they defied reality as much as steven seagal does in his movies. that whole hitler plot was just dumb as hell. the trial was even worse. i do not mind it is not historical accurate, but at least come up with a convincing script that leads to that point. the whole action scene when raiding the compound was just as bad as a steven seagal movie. completely void of any reality at all. same for when hitler escaped.

i actually wonder if the trial of hitler was to be compared to the real trial that happened of Ivan the terrible. this was the first and only trial in Israel which was public and where ivan was defended by a jew as well, but actually walked free, because they could not convince the court that the person they had, was actually ivan.

Made sense to me.

It’s not supposed to mimic historical accuracy. It’s just a what if action drama show.

I get that you didn’t like it but I’m just saying I did.

I will have to take your word for it. I couldn't finish the first season so I never bothered with the second.
