I like the storybeats, I just find the execution awful. Honestly even the acting is off, GOATdolfini just doesn't sell it when he screams "we're golden!", which I know is a reference to a classic movie.
Then there's the shaky cam for the majority of the episode. Syl repetitively egging Tony on ("you gotta do that"). The shower scene etc.
There's only 3 episodes I flat out dislike, and this one ranks the worst for me.
Fyi the other ones I don't fukk with:
- Irregular Around the Margins: that whole Tony/Adriana shyt really came too close to lazy writing for me.
- In Camelot: Johnny's mistress just annoys the fukk out of me. I know it's kind of intentional and it shows, adding to my points earlier, how blind Tony is to his fathers shortcomings..but something about every scene he has with her just grosses me the fukk out
Other then these 3 I legit enjoy every episode, even Johnny Cakes
