“The Collaborators” delves into the personal lives of Don Draper and Pete Campbell as they navigate similar paths with two very different outcomes. The episode is an entertaining mix of introspective character exploration and a look into the inner workings of the advertising industry.
Tonight’s episode, Walk of Punishment, starts off surprisingly comical. The first scene takes place at the funeral for Robb’s grandfather where his uncle, Edmure Tully, inadvertently makes it very awkward by missing the boat with his flamed arrows. To be fair, that does look like a pretty tough duty to pull off. On a side note, as a fan of HBO’s Rome, it is interesting to see the actors for both Caesar and Brutus on this series now. Edmure seems to be a Tully with some Lannister traits. Robb chews him out for not sticking to his plan, in a scene that further develops him as a strong leader and strategist.
The initial trailer for this show left me a bit indifferent and the concept didn’t seem engrossing either. However, Boss and Spartacus were both very good shows, for very different reasons, so I figured I should give Starz’ new series a chance. We often write TV reviews here with full spoilers, but none will be in this review for the show’s pilot. I mention it being Sherlock Holmes and Assassin’s Creed in the title because those are the two overwhelmingly similar properties that come to mind.
