The protagonist, Beatrice "Tris" Prior, discovers her test results are inconclusive—she shows traits of multiple factions, making her "Divergent" . Warned that Divergents are considered dangerous threats to the social order and are often hunted, she keeps her status a secret and chooses to leave her family in Abnegation to join the Dauntless.
During her brutal initiation, she meets a mysterious instructor named (Theo James). Together, they discover a conspiracy led by the Erudite faction leader, Jeanine Matthews, who plans to use a mind-control serum to turn the Dauntless into a puppet army to overthrow the government. Tris and Four must use their unique abilities to stop the genocide of the Abnegation faction and protect those they love. Production Details

Wrong
No, you are not right.
I love how you say you are right in the title itself. Clearly nobody agrees with you. The episode was so great it was nominated for an Emmy. Nothing tops the chain mail curse episode? Really? Funny but not even close to the highlight of the series.
Dissent is dissent. I liked the chain mail curse. Also the last two episodes of the season were great.
Honestly i fully agree. That episode didn’t seem like the rest of the series, the humour was closer to other sitcoms (friends, how i met your mother) with its writing style and subplots. The show has irreverent and stupid humour, but doesn’t feel forced. Every ‘joke’ in the episode just appealed to the usual late night sitcom audience and was predictable (oh his toothpick is an effortless disguise, oh the teams money catches fire, oh he finds out the talking bass is worthless, etc). I didn’t have a laugh all episode save the “one human alcoholic drink please” thing which they stretched out. Didn’t feel like i was watching the same show at all and was glad when they didn’t return to this forced humour. Might also be because the funniest characters with best delivery (Nandor and Guillermo) weren’t in it
And yet…that is the episode that got the Emmy nomination! What am I missing? I felt like I was watching a bad improv show where everyone was laughing at their friends but I wasn’t in on the joke.
