That is to say, after a startling, great episode of television like Chapter 5.
Lets have a go at work through this together.
Theres nothing as visually or structurally inventive on TV.

The colors are bright and used in interesting ways.
I imagine the colorists for every Marvel Studios movie weeping as they tune in masochistically.
(For the record, big fan of Marvel Studios.)
The start of every episode feels like were taking a different door into the same funhouse.
That stuffs been obvious for weeks, so I want to talk about creating moments.
Its gross and surprising and horrifying and cinematic and unexpected.
But the bold move has a purpose.
Instead, we get a simple visual, but one thats built on a reaction.
But that also has to be incredibly alienating.
Forget what she knows about Dr. Poole something she was able to do easily enough earlier in the episode.
This is next level.
NEXT: The lovers, the dreamers
There are smaller moments like this throughout the episode.
Dan Stevens performing a devastating rendition of The Rainbow Connection is fun and strange, but its also heartbreaking.
Its there that we see the Devil clearly for the first time, and its absolutely terrifying.
