Standout episodes

Episode 12021-08-15

The premiere drops the viewer into the newsroom mid-deadline. The show establishes its period with confidence rather than tourism: this is a workplace drama that happens to be set in 1986, not a nostalgia exercise with incidental plot. Helen's first scene defines her in under two minutes.

8.7

Episode 62021-09-19

The season finale resolves the personal and professional threads with unusual honesty - without tidying either. The payoffs land because the show has refused easy resolutions throughout.
