Bet you weren't expecting that. Hell, after The Americans rushed up and grabbed the No. 1 slot last week for its finale, a little more order was probably expected from the odds-on favorites like Game of Thrones and Mad Men. But listen, the "Plato's Cave" episode of this Sundance Channel series had everything I love about the show. It was contemplative. It was smart - almost too smart with all the literary references being dropped and philosophical exercises manifesting themselves in the plotting (big applause for the effort, by the way; impressive). I know not everybody is a fan of the Slow TV thing, but you can't tell this story any other way. And with so few episodes in its freshman season, I'm absolutely fine with taking time to enjoy every frame of this show. This was an episode worth rewatching, even more than once.
