Beard After Hours

I don't know what's up with the low reviews. This is a treasure. We get to see into the enigma that is Beard. Total change of pace and a palate cleanser.

The writers of this episode were under LSD or mushrooms while writing the script, the result may not fit most viewers however is a masterpiece in all aspects, acting filming and directing.

The first time I watched this episode, I was left a little bewildered-as it was such a departure from all other episodes. And I admittedly didn't really enjoy it. However, I've since watched it a couple more times and found it's grown on me.

Throughout the series, Coach Beard is portrayed as a simple, one-word man, but this episode digs deeper into his character and we find that he is a far more complex character. Instead of being easy going and able to brush things off, we learn that Beard is also going through his own trials and struggling with his own tribulations - same as all the other characters.

Beard is a phenomenal character whose few, well placed and well delivered lines add so much to every episode. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about him.

Absolutely amazing episode. Its psychedelic development is engaging, and although it deviates from the tone of the series, it is one of the most interesting episodes so far. A magnum opus, a tour de force that transcends the boundaries of television and enters the realm of cinematic greatness. It's a rare gem that not only meets but exceeds the loftiest expectations. This episode is a testament to the power of storytelling, the magic of brilliant performances, and the limitless possibilities of the medium.

Beard is a character that deserved this much screentime. People that says this is a waste of time don't understand what real television is.

If you are watching this show for a feel good football story, where they come back and win a Title, then you are watching the wrong show. It's episodes like this one that win awards for writing and performance. Hunt was brilliant here.
