The pilot is absolute piece of art and in traditional Gilligan style. But EP 2 and 3 are not the same. They are nice don't get me wrong, but they are not sitting at the edge of my scene unable to look away episodes anymore.
So free pilot was clearly the hook they want to get people to pay money while upcoming episodes are slow and normal. I mean it's fine, but just making pilot free seemed like the shday tactic for me. In any case, I have my sources and didn't pay Apple my money.
I dunno, as someone who feels the pace makes sense, ep1 included, I don’t think it’s some sort of ploy. It’s just narrative structure.
Yeah, Vince always wrote in this style. You’d have moments of extreme tension in one episode, then a guy throwing a pizza on his roof in the next.
