Reviews

Unfortunately most of these other reviews are wildly over and under thought simultaneously. This is the best episode of the series. Has drama, comedy, highs, lows, action, thought, sex, love, hate. Beautifully sets up all the characters and the deterioration of all of them from this point forward is a huge disappointment. Sure, the series as a whole is awesome, but this episode is as pure as it gets. I want what Fiona and Steve have. I want what Kev and V have. I want the brotherly comaraderie that Ian and lip have. I want the tight knit community banter kev has with all the bar patrons. We all want all of those things and they're all perfectly romanticized in this episode. From here through the bitter end of the series it also deteriorates, and that's fine and natural for every series.. but for this one, this episode is all at its purest. Character development masterpiece, fun and lighthearted, and lays the groundwork perfectly for what's to come.. even though what's to come never lives up to this episode. Television brilliance in a single episode.
