Second Episode - Just as Good
The creators are doing a great job unfolding the story. We had moments from 1959, 1973, 2014, and 2015 in the first episode, and now we're getting a glimpse at what was going on back in 1952. It's quite brilliant, and the editing and pacing give it a very natural flow. We're being given just enough backstory, at just the moment we need it, to deepen our understanding of the modern-day story.
Now that Kurt Russell has popped up, I sense things will kick into an even higher gear, and I'm looking forward to next week and episode 3.
