Episode 8 Discussion [rewatch]

[Aria]

I liked this episode, its a one-off with some very good performances. Andy Serkis was brilliant as the Kurt Cobain type rocker as was the actress who played B, going from sad and pathetic to a conniving, evil attention seeker. Loved the Harry and Mace scenes especially the beginning, "we can be cuddly too". lol Loved Harry's line to Adam, "In this we are all virginal", and his scene with B was brilliantly cringeworthy. Some good H/R scenes as well and a tense moment between Ruth and Mace, when she calls him "Mr. Mace". I winced at that. Nice to see Fiona and Adam working together and showing how good they can be professionally. I liked the subplot of the murdering politician and Harry and Mace's different viewpoints. I thought they showed how the media can be manipulated and manipulative really well.
