    It's completely broken. Won't even start, just spins on a loading screen indefinitely. Tried clearing the cache to no avail so now i had to delete the entire series and re download episode 1 and this. Telltale's horrendous QA shouldn't fly anymore. They're a terrible developer that rips off their fans with broken products. I'll never again touch a Telltale product.

    This isn't the best episode, but it has a purpose, and it does that well. It's the perfect story for what is yet to come.

    To say Thicker Than Water is the season's worst episode is both true and deeply misleading. It does take a step back from the extreme highs of the first three episodes, but this is still a story well worth seeing through to the end. Hopefully enough of the Garcia clan survive this season because they're worth another of their own. Some gripes with dialogue aside, the thematic elements remain strong, the characters are some of the best the studio has born, and this episode contributes to the still very high expectations for the season finale.

    Overall, Thicker Than Water didn’t just hit a speed bump, it went for a Sunday drive in quicksand. Almost everything is done without urgency, or intensity, and the writers picked wildly inappropriate times for characters to discuss things which are the least of anyone’s worries when there’s a hunt going on. What could’ve been a bad episode, received a lifeline in the form of an enthralling and engaging final chapter of episode four.
