    He’s not been the only director on the show. I think it can go on without him given all that has been done already. Maybe he’ll come back the the final season if lasts.

      Not only not the solo director, but I’d go so far as to say his direction didn’t really stand out other than to maybe establish the production design, but that’s rarely a solo effort.

      Through 2 seasons, the only episode that immediately made me want to know who directed it was Chikhai Bardo directed by Jessica Lee Gagné. It felt special, cinematic, while watching it. And watching the after episode feature, which I rarely do, was rewarding to see how she achieved some shots, particularly the one most people assumed was CGI of the cable network oner between the floors. Now I can’t wait to see what she does next.

        One thing I want to add, though I am not trying to take away from what you wrote. While the parts of the shot were filmed practically, there was still VFX involved and one CGI part that she clarified afterwards (the part where the camera passes through the vents).People today are very careful with their words since they believe using cgi today takes away from the magic.
