nails it

[A_Different_Drummer · 10/10 · 20 July 2017]

This wonderful show which barely lasted two seasons was taken before its time and made my IMDb list of shows that will be sorely missed.

This episode is technically perfect in terms of craftsmanship and execution. It pushes all the buttons and show what might have been if the show had been allowed a proper run.

The moral issues are astonishing.

One of the few really bad episodes

In a TV show that maintain very high averages this is one of the few bottom episodes that deserve a lot of criticism.

First of if you shot a man breaking into your house you are correct in doing so no matter why, your intent, or who that man is. Even if you pick up a machine gun and riddle the intruder with so many bullets there is nothing left of the bandit in question you handled it correctly. Anyone stating different is evil and supporting evil. Period.

Secondly in almost every episode it is clear what God wants and often also why, and there is always a philosophical question which normally make this show so great, but this episode have none of this

And finally the stealing? Wt... So badly done.

4/10 and by far the worst episode of the first season.
