Axe installs rigorous compliance measures to gird the company against the investigation. When Wendy questions Axe's methods, he compels her to prove her loyalty to the firm. Chuck's investigation is temporarily derailed. (Home Box Office)
Reviews (2)
A traditionally slower second episode, where multiple new characters come in and out in the blink of an eye, so that the viewer starts to get outrageously lost midway through, with names flying in all directions like a treadmill. The puzzle can be put together, but it will take effort and time.

The second episode didn't seem as successful to me, I had a feeling that the pace of the story somewhat decreased, there weren't as strong intrigues as I expected, and the situation in this regard was mainly saved by Mr. Hall and his cunning behind-the-scenes moves. Although Damian Lewis is among my favorite actors, I must admit that Paul Giamatti makes Chuck Rhoades a slightly more interesting character.
