Featured reviews
The writing, the acting, the timing, the chemistry - all of it - spot on. And, yes, I agree with the other reviews that talk about what garbage people they are, but that's the entire point. These are characters that are so self-involved and so out of touch with reality that they have absolutely no awareness of their own actions and behavior. But both Steve and Jennifer played it beautifully. And the dialogue and even physical comedy was perfect. It was at the same time touching, moving, infuriating, and hilarious. And all very simple. In my opinion - for the very little that's worth - this was the best episode of the series...

Steve's acting in this episode takes it to another level. To be honest I didn't think he was such an actor until now, I know he is good but not this good. I was wrong. Top notch acting which really stood him out from other A list Hollywood actors. The micro expression and his eyes are pulling you in, into every inch closer to the heart of the character.
This is a good portrayal of what happens to a person that realizes that they did horrible things and now have the guilt to carry.
Mitch wants to be a better person even though he knows that he will carry the weight of his sins for the rest of his life. This does not excuse the severity of his mistakes but the show wants you to see what happens after a person's life is destroyed by their own doing.
The media world is taught will not forgive even thought people want to do better.
I read someone say that Jennifer Anniston and Steve Carrell's acting was terrible but I have not idea what that person think talent is.

This show is just a revelation. The acting is fantastic, it is well written and provocative. It is honest. It is fearless, at times. And it is produced beautifully. It really is my favourite television series at this time.
The buildup was intense. The editing and parallels worked well. Just a gut wrenching scene. There is a lot of balance in this show that has many sides.
