Our Take
A solid mid-season bottle episode that finally gives the Tyrol something meaty to chew on. The labor unrest angle feels genuinely earned after two seasons of watching deckhands get ground down, and the class politics land harder than most of the season’s political stuff. It’s talky and a bit stagey, but the grievances feel real. Worth your time, especially if you’ve been waiting for the working stiffs to get their due.
