Track 4: I Saw the Light

Probably my favorite episode so far.

My memory may be a bit blurry, but I don't remember the house party in the book? If it's added here (I'm pretty sure it is), then it's a great adition to the series and individual arcs for the characters. I really like what the writers have done with Eddie in particular so far. I honestly liked him in the book, but he feels a bit more fleshed out and maybe a bit more human in the show so far.

I REALLY like the relationship between Billy and Daisy. Things should only grow more complicated there, and this episode established their conflicting feelings for their professional relationship very, very well. Of all of the characters in this show, these two I am most pleased with so far.

I also love seeing so much of Teddy. That's one character you don't learn much about in the book and I honestly like him a lot more in this series.

I also love seeing more Simone. I probably like her more in this than I did in the book as well. I'm kind of excited to see where her story goes, because it may derive from the book and be all the better for it. But we'll see!

I'm also glad we got to see some songs performed from the band, a gripe I've had with the show sonfsr but not something that has completely taken away from my enjoyment. With a new album around the corner, I feel like the rest of this show should be pretty music-centric.

This was good. The acting, writing and tone is pretty close to the book for me now. Fingers crossed the rest of the show is just as good if not better.
