And the performances of Lange and Basset, so subtle and powerful, telling us through their eyes only, that they are both lying to each other.
I have marveled at the show's ability to find personal favorite actresses of mine and giving them meaty roles to play; Mare Winningham, Patty Lupone, and now pulling a classic rock icon out of left field and in a bit of truly inspired metacasting, playing on everything that Stevie Nicks means to us.
I also particularly loved seeing the theramin in use. The mystery of who will be the next supreme keeps me intrigued. I started this season feeling it didn't quite meet up to the first two seasons, but I now feel it's every bit the equal, and if they come up with a mind blowing finale, it may well be the best yet.

I definitely agree with you on the framing, dialogue, and the performances. Plus i thought the Stevie Nicks cameo was great. Im just not liking the story this season. Death's are thrown around for shock value which wasn't done in the other season. If there ends up being a purpose for their deaths (Like in the other seasons where dead characters came back) then i'll be ok with it but right now its just kinda ruining things for me. How am i supposed to find a death scene tragic and worry about the characters when they all just keep coming back? Plus the whole supreme mystery just seems a little predictable to me.
