Nina Arianda. Sometimes the show veers dangerously close to being farcical. The “wacky sister” plot could be from a sitcom, and some of the early scenes are unintentionally amusing, but the cleverly-foreshadowed twist ending is quite shocking. And keeps the series’ grim tone intact.
The robbery b-story is another example of the show painting the hostage-takers in a sympathetic light: one of them has a kid, etc. I’ve never seen a show so eager to keep everyone likeable. 9/10
