Middling thus far. The b-plot of the dissolving marriage doesn't carry much weight, mostly because the wife character is nearly a void. The immediate theme between the therapist and the damaged young man is much richer, but I worry it won't be fully dug out. There are no "likeable" characters, which works right. GR has it wrong, this is not 352, more 210, so we'll see. The writing, since it's Barker, is excellent.
