A Tightening Grip - Episode 3 - "The Box"
It's been a week since we were able to behold Blake Crouch's creation on our screens. For me personally, it's always a good thermometer, of sorts, to check whether or not you're looking forward to another episode after having to wait for 7 days. Do you sense nonchalance within yourself? Or excitement? Do you want to unfold the mystery of the story further, or have you been content not having it at your disposal? I for one was eager to jump back in, and after a quick recap of the previous events, I find myself at the mercy of the ever more tightening grip of Dark Matters.
Episode 3 is an episode with truely important plot points, and without giving away anything about said plot, it makes episode 3 a bit faster-paced than the previous two iterations. It takes some jumps, not leaps, to further not only the main arc of Dark Matters, but also the development of its main characters. I'll be the first to admit that I've always been a sucker for parallel-universe-lore, and Dark Matters shows you why it is such an intrigueing subject. Mind you, as specifically mentioned, the episode doesn't make leaps, which is a good thing. Even the jumps that can be seen as questionable or skipping past important notions of the storyline, are almost instantly rectified by following dialogues.
A lot of characters show their bite, where first there was a mere bark. Relationships are put to the test almost every step of the way, and some of our characters hava a first encounter with dilemmas. Edgerton continues to do his best to show us all he is very much capable of leading a cast of equally talented actors. The story continues to stay close to its source material. And, as we have come to both hate and love about scientific thrillers, it leaves us with an agonizing cliffhanger, of which we know we'll have to wait an additional 7 days to have our questions answered.
Until more of the series and its plot are available to us, I'll be safe about it and score episode 3 a very respectful 8 out of 10. But make no mistake, knowing the story as written by Crouch will be the story shown in Dark Matters, the series shows an adept skill in pacing with strong characters that develop more and more.
