Sneak Peek: Someone Who Can Be Happy

"...the director Sam Gold and the writer and showrunner Sarah Treem constructed an episode so engrossing, and then so disturbing, that I could barely bring myself to face it when it happened. Using the show’s dueling-perspective structure against itself is the episode’s masterstroke."
