Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Central’s forces fight with renewed vigor following Bradley’s return, and the Führer himself enters the battle. His first opponent is an armored tank. His second foe is even tougher.

Our Take

Bradley carving through a tank with a sword should be ridiculous, but the show plays it straight and it mostly works. The pacing keeps things moving, though the constant arrival of new opponents for the Führer starts to feel like a video game boss gauntlet. Still, the animation during his fight scenes is sharp and the stakes feel real. A strong, if familiar, action hour.
