Scott Tobias New York Times 05/09/2018
The season premiere finds the stress and paranoia of this protracted battle weighing heavily on both men, who are committed to locking horns no matter how miserable it makes them. Go to Full Review Kyle Fowle Entertainment Weekly 05/09/2018

It's not the most thrilling premiere, and the first half is especially bogged down by the necessities of checking in with all of the show's major players...the episode really picks up in its second half. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 05/08/2018
4/5
