In my opinion this episode puts the previous two episodes to shame. I was actually really hyped for Dave Filoni to direct episode 5, however, too many small elements really hurt that episode. The concept was alright, however some of the generic background music, overuse of similar camera angles, and especially the acting made me worried about the episodes to come. That said, this episode redeemed my expectations and I hope to see Rick Famuyiwa direct more episodes as he also did great with episode 2.
The action choreography is clear and epic! This episode definitely nails that. The actors delivered great performances. I was on the edge of my seat!
The only downside is that I'm a little bit concerned about where the story is heading. I would've loved to have more of a general outline of storytelling between each episode. So far all the episodes after episode 3 feel quite disconnected with a story line, so I do hope that this series will get back on track with the next episode as there are only 2 or 3 episodes remaining in this season.
And as far as I can tell from everyone watching this: PLEASE MAKE THE EPISODES LONGER, 45-60 minutes would be PERFECT!!!
