I imagine the idea is to have these intertwining narratives across the whole story. In that case, this episode makes sense, but at the same time, shifting the focus to the backstory of another character so soon, when it doesn’t feel like we should already be done with the first one, doesn’t sit right with me. But overall, I like it. The style, colors, and the fact that it seems to be more of a character drama than something focusing on the arts are nice. This was one of the better premieres I’ve seen this season.
