In the previous comment, I praised the good pace of the story... The plot of the fourth episode didn't have such momentum, although it wasn't uninteresting, but it left me with a stretched-out impression. The creators clearly tried to maintain too many storylines, and then they devoted themselves to each one too superficially, resulting in the whole thing feeling somewhat inconsistent. I must appreciate Metallica, but it is clear that James Hetfield is a great musician, but acting should be left to others.

An unforgettable cameo by Metallica; the compulsion to do something that could brutally backfire and the strength not to do it in the finale – all depicted in an excellent, almost "from life" realistic way.
