1.5/5

In terms of taste -- well, it’s bad. In terms of drama, on the other hand, it’s very juicy. Has it gone too far? I suspect it might have, but there’s no denying people will be talking about this…

4/5

This was – in keeping with the characters’ hangovers, guilt, sense of shame, pangs of paranoia – an oppressive, unsettling and bleak episode, with that earworm score now accompanied by an ever-heavier, pounding drumbeat. Alka-Seltzers all round.

“Denials” isn’t so much an episode of television but its aftermath.

B+

The three actors deliver sharply subtle performances, from Laurie’s passive aggression to Jaclyn’s actual aggression and Kate’s dismay as the de facto mediator.

The shoutout performances of “Denials” go to Tayme Thapthimthong, Isaacs, and Schwarzenegger, who have to juggle impressive subtext in their characters while pushing forward their arcs.
