Last episode I was already thinking it, and the opening scene confirmed it: if the broken Spanish won't tip the guy off, the angry swearing will. And I really enjoy the slow pace and character building. A few really nice details:
The heroin. Carol is an alcoholic, clearly off the wagon, abd we learn she used to do heroin in college. Not giving in to the brown baggie takes a hell of a lot of resolve, and tells us (me at least) that she sees a good way forward.
Testing the truth serum on herself first. Shows that she is, or at least likes to see herself as a good person at heart. She deeply regrets the grenade episode, instructive as it may have been.
The whiteboard. Great way to mark a turning point for the character. Up until then she was searching for someone to fix the world. This is the moment she realises it is only up to her.
I love love love this show, and Rhea is fantastic. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea - the reviews on IMDB illustrate the point - but as a long time Philip K. Dick fan, this show hits a lot of right notes for me.
