So if I was to jump back in, would you recommend ep 3 or 4? 

I don't like pigs.

Shout, "pigs in a blanket!"  Louder.  Sound more baffled.  That's it.  Now you're ready.

In all honesty, my critical faculties aren't that sharp these days.  While watching, I stand behind the recliner for support and do physical therapy.  I think I've gotten stronger laterally, but the improvement in balance is minimal.  But there's been a noticeable increase in my tolerance for watching crap.  Because I'm doing exercises, I'm more likely to stick with it.

But I'm reluctant to call this crap.  It's got a protagonist I'd never think of making a protagonist.  And Refn's emphasis doesn't seem to be on fight scenes.  He's seems fixated on exploring slow pans, to the point that it calls attention to itself.  It does provide a large canvas, and it occasionally does something quite clever.  All in all, the series is unique enough that I want to see where it goes.

At the end of Ep-4, the series seems headed in new and unexpected directions.

But I don't think I'm a very good judge of quality these days.

Finally, there is a lot of pigs--most of them associated with a Chinese restaurant.
