Our Take

This time around, we get an episode that opens with the Cleaners group sharing a rare light-hearted moment, offering a break from the usual chaos. It’s a welcome chance to see more warmth and personality in the cast, especially as Rudo begins to feel a genuine sense of belonging among the crew. The setting’s gritty, industrial aesthetic remains front and center, contrasted with flashes of camaraderie and humor that make the characters more relatable.

Tension builds as the team responds to a new situation that quickly escalates, testing their skills and cooperation. Action sequences deliver both style and creativity, with standout character moments showcasing unique abilities and fighting styles, while also revealing to the audience that dangers within this universe don’t always come from monsters alone…

Overall, the episode balances lighter character interactions with bursts of high-energy action and world-building details. The visual design continues to be distinctive and polarizing, while the sound design adds an extra layer of immersion. With new threats looming and alliances solidifying, it sets the stage for bigger confrontations ahead without giving away too much. And with the way it ended, I’m curious to see where it goes next!
