Rank The Season Cold Opens


A recap & spoilers-

1- Frank's "doggy-cide"

2-Frank & Claire running

3- Frank pees on his father's grave

4- Lucas tells an erotic story to his cell mate who's jerking off

5-Claire's commercial/Frank hijacks & admonishes the Investigative Comitee

6-Young Claire running in woods & shooting a gun/Present day Claire receiving threat assements in the Oval

My Rankings best to worst:

1- sets the tone for the whole series
3- shocking start to an otherwise somewhat lackluster season (but gets better on repeat viewings)
5-one of the best parts in a season that loses steam half way through
6- an interesting way to start, & probably the best part of a total trainwreck of a season
2- kinda inconsequential & could've been better, but still not as bad as.......
4- ultra cringy, & stupid way to re-introduce the character of Lucas.

Was the scene where Kate Mara bares her butt in any of the cold openings? If yes, I nominate that one for first place

Unfortunately, no.

I recap the cold opens above. If that had been one, I would've mentioned it. (& ranked it high for that alone!!)
