Let's talk about the elephant in the room, for me, nothing will ever live up to the first season.
But this was an excellent first episode of the current season.
W/o getting into too much of the story, viewers are brought into a familiar TD setting and similar feeling story, but with a different case and leads to follow.
As a series staple this is once again told over different time periods. This made me feel right at home as a long time fan of the series.
The lead is an excellent actor, along with the rest of the cast, but I was quite drawn into a lot of his scenes during the episode.
I really enjoyed the characters and I found myself wanting to know more about their stories and where the series would take them, and why a certain series of events would happen.
I had no expectations as to how this episode would play out, but I am glad to say it was time spent wisely.
The setup for this season has really caught me off guard and I am very keen to see how this story unfolds.
+ HBO released two episodes at the season launch so you can binge the first two right now!
Rejoice in the fact that TD is back in 2019.
