Axe installs rigorous compliance measures to gird the company against the investigation. When Wendy questions Axe's methods, he compels her to prove her loyalty to the firm. Chuck's investigation is temporarily derailed. (Home Box Office)
Reviews (2)
A traditionally slower second episode, where multiple new characters come in and out in the blink of an eye, so that the viewer starts to get outrageously lost midway through, with names flying in all directions like a treadmill. The puzzle can be put together, but it will take effort and time.

The second episode didn't quite hit the mark for me. The story's pace seemed to slow down, and the level of intrigue wasn't as high as I had hoped. Thankfully, Mr. Hall's devious backstage maneuvers kept things interesting on that front. While Damian Lewis is one of my favorite actors, I have to admit that Paul Giamatti's portrayal of Chuck Rhoades makes his character even more compelling.
