Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Fsociety attempts to penetrate Steel Mountain, the most secure data facility in America.
Our Take
The Steel Mountain infiltration gives the season its first proper heist energy, and the cat-and-mouse inside the facility is genuinely tense even if the “world’s most secure building” folds a bit too easily. The Bill Clinton monologue is a fun bit of sleight of hand, though the Cold War subplot still feels like padding. Solid, propulsive stuff, just short of the show’s best.
