I know, right. But contrast that with how she looked at the end of the episode. The woman who scares everybody in Savannah, was terrified of her bestie and she should be. Don't mess with Katheryn or her offspring and think you'll walk away unscathed.
TP does have some exciting and satisfying scenes throughout his shows, he just makes you sit through tons of confusing and annoying dialog to get to see them.
Having Queen Sugar (and earlier in the summer, Greenleaf) debut right after THATHN shows a stark difference in production values- from the scenery, musical score, and editing. Writing too, I suspect, but I'll hold off on judging QS as it just started and I'll need more time to get into the story line. But good start, so far.
