Thankfully, "Currency" is a shift in the opposite direction, a stirring, exciting episode like no other this season so far. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 05/08/2018
4/5
Props to composer Eskmo's score this week, especially in the final scenes. It always gives the show a propulsive momentum, adding to the tension of key moments. Go to Full Review Comfortably Smug Decider 06/20/2018
