the most important episode, the soul of America indeed

all the episodes so far are great, as usual from Ken Burns and his collaborators, but this one's ending was truly remarkable

you can almost feel the desperation of Washington as he scrambles for anything that can turn his fortunes

 The Empire Strikes Back could be an apt title for the episode

apart from the completely bonkers and interesting nature of of the show, what I really, really like is the direction

it's like all those weird angles and cameras strapped on shovels and doors and geometry and whatever I loved from Breaking Bad, 
but with a budget that includes (cgi or practical, I can't say) huge airplanes choreography and places and people and vistas, 

it's a beautifully shot and arranged experience unlike any other on tv right now, please correct me if i'm wrong

loved it!

so intense and mysterious, what the hell is going on?! 

and how will they keep this level of intensity for 4 seasons? Can't wait to find out, very good start
