Review: Interrogator “Someone Else’s Nightmares”
This every other week schedule for The Interrogator is killing me. I want this every week. I want to get more involved. However, the release schedule is a wonky two weeks, and my drive to want to watch The Interrogator gets reassessed with every episode. However, “Someone Else’s Nightmares” doesn’t disappoint, just like the prior two episodes.
A good portion of “Someone Else’s Nightmares” is spent trying to figure out the jumbled mess that Jurgen uncovered when he read Sortha’s mind. Once Jorgen finally gets himself together with a shot of liquid testicular fortitude, they start making their way to ithe cathedral that was in Sortha’s head. What I loved in this scene was what I felt like was a casual walk from the seedy streets of Gheisthaven to what could be mistaken for a Legion of Chaos outpost. Ultimately, it’s just a bunch of wayward people outside of a derelict cathedral, but still.
The biggest part of “Someone Else’s Nightmares” is that The Interrogator’s plots for the first two weeks are finally coming together. We’re finally getting a flashback with Jurgen, Baldur, and the rest of his crew from when Bellena was still around. However, whast comes never was the most grotesque part of The Interrogator so far when one of Jurgen’s band of misfits’s head decided to explode from a bolter shot.
The extra layers of plot being layed down this week is a lesson that should be shipped out and have taught to many shows and cartoons/anime in the world now, because not many shows know how to write plots out properly. As I say that. Baldur and Jurgen fall under attack from troops, but Jurgen has a small streak of good Samaritan in him. The gunfight in the bowels of the cathedral was fantastically drawn, with just the right amount of grotesque to make it enjoyable.
Games Workshop is not worried about violence, and it shows. M2 Animation has done a fantastic job this week with turning up the violence. Keep it up, please. Warhammer 40K is known for ultra-violent stories at time, and getting a taste of that animated is wonderful. We need more of it. I haven’t talked much about M2 and how they’ve done specifically, but it’s a gem. The feel of The Interrogator screams what Double Indemnity in the world of Necromunda would be like. And I am all for it.
Without seeming like I am gushing too hard, I really wish The Interrogator would hit a weekly release schedule. I know Games Workshop hasn’t been steady on releases for their WarhammerTV releases, which kind of sucks, especially for a streaming platform less than a year old. This release schedule did a job on my desire to see any release on the platform, and I haven’t watched a full show yet. I guess that’s just a thought into the void, though.
Back on point, I love the more subdued feel for most of “Someone Else’s Nightmares” brought this week. The action was less three total minutes, which allowed for a lot of plot progression. You can have a show that’s all action, but then you’d just get a The Matrix Resurrections; a show that has fantastic action sequences, but nothing more than a potato where the plot should be. The Interrogator is on point. I can’t wait for more.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
