Episode 11: Continuing on the same path of semi nonsensical stuff, this time with more drama, more "dangerous" things, too much accentuation on personal lives, peripheral matters and dramatizingly dragging to make it to the twelfth episode.

A long day's journey into the night

I liked the episode because, again, it changed the tone in contrast to the last one. After the usual scheming in and out of the office, we see how some of the characters cope with their losses and anxieties.
We are invited to see into the abyss of Axe and Chuck, with very different and very interesting consequences. Basically, Axe becomes younger and playful while Chuck becomes sad and bleak. Even the other characters get their time off from the cliché. Lara loosens up at a girls' night with her sister. Bryan and Sacker may become a real couple. Wendy shows her strengths as a therapist.
There are several showings of self-reflectiveness and savvy of the writers. When Chuck explains to a colleague that only amateurs use the word 'guarantee' in a scheme. The aborted sex-on-the-boss's-desk scene, the whole session of Axe with Wendy, the session with Chuck with his paid dominatrix or the introduction of a trading concept with a friendly face by Kathryn Erbe's character.
'Cartoonish' was the verdict on how this show depicts its characters by many viewers, but, for better or worse, this episode took a different turn. The label 'cartoonish' for this show gets crashed like a useless object in Axe's temple of profit.
