The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 4 (PBS)
In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 4, things take a darker, more unsettling turn as Edmond Dantès moves beyond planning and starts executing a very calculated – and honestly chilling – strategy. As he embeds himself into the lives of those who wronged him, new secrets begin to surface, alliances deepen, and the line between justice and something far more sinister starts to blur. This episode had us asking a lot of questions – about what Dantès knows, how he knows it, and whether we should be a little concerned about just how far he’s willing to go
