Logline

Written by Dana Horgan
Directed by Valerie Weiss
Minor nitpick in an otherwise really good episode, but it was weird how they put in flashbacks of Una’s testimony when Neera was reading the asylum law. That scene had literally just happened, did they make this episode expecting people to be on their phones half paying attention because there aren’t any explosions or something?
It was hand holding for the politically opposed viewer. Just saying the law doesn’t make the point to those who have a more narrow view of what asylum is.
