I only have one main gripe about the episode . I didn ' t like that we knew nothing about the protagonist for so much of the episode until the twist reveals that she ' s some sadistic killer . It felt like a cheap tricky gotcha moment whereas with Shut Up and Dance , for example , we got a fully developed and complex protagonist that we could actually empathize with . And learning that he had done something sinister at the end was such a powerful moment because of that . and like . you can have an amnesiac protagonist that is fleshed out and developed Mulholland Dr and Memento come to mind . I do understand that for the purposes of this episode , doing so wasn ' t super necessary as White Bear is less about a complex protagonist and more about You , the viewer in two ways 1 . the protagonist is somewhat of a standin for the viewers themselves . we , just like the protagonist , have no idea wtf is going on and we ' re just feeling our adrenaline pumping around just like the protagonist . the environment and action are already unique enough so it works to not completely flesh out the protagonist 2 . the episode is more about the viewerssociety and commentary on how we can be sadistic as fuck when we get on our moral high horse . That being said , i feel like that kind of commentary was heavyhanded in this episode , too . Still , I enjoyed the episode as it was super well done , but i walked away from it feeling less impressed compared to the rest of the series so far .
