The Episode Review
The flashback was a great way to set the tone for the episode. It showed how Esme’s character has changed over time and how her relationship with her family has changed. The way the flashback was written made it feel like a story that had been told before, but in a more stylish manner. This gave the episode a feeling of familiarity, which was great.
The writers took some bold decisions for the characters in this series. For example, the one-way ticket to India was one of the most painful but Rani’s changed priorities also made for sad viewing. Episode 4 was one of the darkest of the series until now. However, this did not take away from the jokes.
The Outlaws is reaching a boiling point. The stakes are high and could explode at any time. In the latest episode, the show’s main villain from London made his debut. ..
The upcoming two episodes of “The Crown” have been met with high anticipation by viewers. His appearance has raised expectations for the show and its potential to be one of the most anticipated new series of the year.
