Possibly the best episode of television in recent years. Something Rutherford Falls excels at is crafting imperfect and therefore incredibly real characters, which is highlighted in this episode. Michael Greyeye's speech at the end of the episode was breathtaking.

Wow!... Michael Greyeyes... just Wow!

For a comedy I will say, this was one of those episodes where I was taken aback by the performance and writing. It was almost like watching a thriller or drama. Perfect episode because it gave a different and new tone I wasn't expecting at all. So I'm enthralled by this show and it's characters and honestly, just yes all the awards to Michael Greyeyes! That was a brilliant performance and great writing, I ALMOST cried.
Michael Greyeyes FTW

A spectacular performance. Michael Greyeyes is at once both smoldering intensity and devilishly funny - a true tour de force. The entire cast is outstanding, but I can't take my eyes off Terry Thomas, and I can't wait to see what part of himself and his plans he reveals next!
Best character study in a single episode - and educational to boot!

Give Michael Greyeyes all the awards just for this episodes. Rutherford Falls is a groundbreaking, exceptional television show, but Greyeyes proves his comic genius. He's funny smart, endearingly funny, and ferociously sharp. Every scene he's in is perfect, from his off the record soliloquy to the casual, covert generosity, to being chuffed at the iconic Billy Jack throwaway line.
Perfection.
Perfection.
