The cinematography of S02E01 continues to be a standout feature. The gray skies and churning Irish Sea serve as more than just a backdrop; they mirror the internal turmoil of the characters. For those utilizing MPC to view the episode, the technical detail in the shadows and the crispness of the coastal landscapes are particularly striking, highlighting the show's noir-inspired aesthetic.

The contrast between their outward prestige and the brutal nature of the crime suggests a season-long mystery rooted in corporate secrets and historical grievances.
