Beyond the Sea's highlight is obviously the acting performance. Fantastic range!

The acting performance outshone the story and writing. It's like everytime the writing could truly say something, it took a step back and took the easy way out.

I mean for the story to even build towards the plot twists and the dramatic conclusion took a lot of erasing of common sense. I really didn't think this whole episode would amount to the weirdest sickest version of "Sharing is caring". It's almost like some kind of satire.

For me, for the story to work as a whole, I needed the conversations and scenarios to be a whole lot more interesting and engaging so that the eventual problem would be more conflicting to me. Plotwise, characters where just too stoic and floaty.
