First ep was very good in no small part due to Mann’s direction. I can’t articulate why but it’s instantly clear as episode 2 begins that he’s not directing (yes, I know the director is listed in the opening credits).

Direct more stuff, Michael!

I’m pretty sure they used the power loader sound effect from Aliens when Josh turns on the rotating bed.
