The Barber family works tirelessly to strengthen their son Jacob’s defense. They’ve met with a defense lawyer, seen a psychologist, and have even taken cheek swabs to help determine if their son has the “murder gene”. That is something that really played throughout the episode. As we’ve found out in the previous episode, Andy Barber’s (Chris Evans) father is currently living a life sentence for the rape and murder of a teenage girl. This is something both Andy’s wife and we [the viewers] didn’t know until recently. Now, it’s out there for everyone to know. It’s clearly something that comes into play much later, as we see Pablo Schreiber’s character grilling Andy about it during a grand jury trial.
Rating: 3.75/5
While episode four may not have been as impactful as previous episodes, episode four was a transition episode. Not only are we seeing a dynamic shift between the Mr. and Mrs., we’re also piecing together what may have led to the current moment between Andy and Schreiber’s Neal Logiudice. Episode four furthered the storyline and teased what we can expect for episode five. J.K. Simmons will finally make his on-screen appearance as “Bloody Billy” Barber – Andy’s dad. I’m ready for it.
