AVClub: This season is enormous. In seven episodes it’s covered a year. Despite the deaths and departures, the cast keeps expanding. “Behold The Lord High Executioner” starts with an Indian housekeeper and almost doesn’t even get to Frank and Charlie, each of whom only have two quick scenes if I count correctly. We even meet a new recurring character, Stan, although we’ve seen him before. The season is so short and fast that it can’t cover everything, but too often that means something gets short shrift. Theodore’s on the hill now, and he still had more to do in a handful of episodes last season. Characters like Kitty Oppenheimer and Woody Lorentzen feel underexplored, and plot points like Liza’s affair and pretty much every promotion and demotion in the lab feel like fly-bys. All of which is prelude to the fact that “Behold The Lord High Executioner” is a graceful trap in itself. The only thing holding it back is the season it’s in.
