I enjoyed the fifth episode and I would definitely rate it with four stars if it weren't for the deadly American ending with enthusiastic applause served with gallons of pathos. This disgust ruined the whole episode for me, but I pulled myself together and didn't allow my disappointment to collapse the rating below 3*.
