The pacing in ep 3 was a bit slow. For example, the jinn scene was important as it continues to build the narrative, but it could have been cut a bit better IMHO, the cab part was excellent and so was the climax, but the 'artsy' bit in the middle dragged.
Sense 8 suffers from the same malaise. It's beautiful but it doesn't serve the story pacing.
Having said that, I'm really enjoying it, it's difficult material and they are doing a great job with it. The scene with Shadow and the house was beautifully done, just the right tone.
