Episode 4: The Crusader
The Crusader delves into the increasingly grey area between right and wrong as television heroes confront internal demons while seeking their own forms of justice.
"I think we are in a, indeed in a golden age television. I think TV today, pound for pound, storytelling-wise is more interesting, dare I say it than Hollywood movies. And I think it’s because television is first and foremost about storytelling. When you create a TV show, what you hope is that by virtue of the writing, by virtue of the actors you have cast, or the situations the characters find themselves in are so interesting or so dramatic and perilous, that you want to keep coming back for more." - VINCE GILLIGAN, Producer, Breaking Bad
