Country as F**k

Half Filler, Half Thriller

Ep 3 &quot;Country as F**k&quot; suffers from an identity crisis: the first half meanders through subplot setup that feels more obligatory than urgent. But stick around, because the second half delivers the goods with that insane tundra buggy sequence that&apos;s worth the wait.

The action choreography remains stellar. Havlock driving off a cliff while Frank&apos;s trapped inside? Chef&apos;s kiss. Clarke and Cooper continue their electric cat-and-mouse dynamic, proving they&apos;re the show&apos;s real engine.

Here&apos;s the issue: the big &quot;twist&quot; lands with a thud if you&apos;ve watched literally any thriller in the last decade. It&apos;s telegraphed so obviously that the reveal feels less like a bombshell and more like checking a genre requirement off the list.

The pacing drags early on, juggling too many prisoner subplots that could&apos;ve been tighter. Once Frank&apos;s family secrets and that buggy chase kick in, though, the episode finds its rhythm.

Not every hour can be a banger, and this one does what it needs to - builds character depth while setting up bigger moves ahead.
