I really don’t like Owen, and unfortunately he gets a lot of focus in this episode. The problem is, it’s not in a fun, “love to hate him” kind of way, it’s more of a “he’s ruining the series for me” situation. He’s a complete arsehole, and while that kind of character can work in some shows, it just doesn’t here.
It feels totally forced that he’s suddenly so upset about the man in this episode, especially when he literally sexually assaulted a couple two episodes ago and hasn’t shown much regard for life at any point. I don’t buy that he’s affected by this, it feels more like inconsistent writing than an actual character arc.
The rest of the cast still feels pretty meaningless at this point in the series, but I get that they’re being introduced gradually. Hopefully they get more to do soon.
The story in this episode is fine. Nothing special, really. Just okay.
