While its brilliance stems from an impeccable confluence of writing, casting, cinematography, composition, and more, particular recognition is owed to its remarkable directional team. Mark Mylod's deft use of multi-camera staging and continuous takes unify the many features of this production, emerging as one of television's most definitive directorial triumphs. A modern classic - executed flawlessly, this show is nothing short of a towering success.
