General Comments: An ethical mass of complexity; it offers deep, heavy questions, with subtle answers. New characters, albeit one, expand the plot, posing further questions about justice, all whilst delivering a supremely satisfying arc of tactical one-upmanship. Consistency is key; the entire set-up manages to master this rule beautifully, expressed with unified effort: both artistically and literarily.
