Beard After Hours

As evidenced by the title, this episode served as an homage to Martin Scorcese's 1985 film "After Hours", and it pulled it off in great fashion. It was a change of pace, but a warranted one after the events taking place after the devastating loss of the Semifinal. It gave us insight into Beard's insecurities and anxieties, and was packed with interesting symbolism that fans will be talking about for a while. This episode also had uncharacteristically great editing and cinematography. I'm glad Season 2 upped the amount of episodes to 12 so they could make episodes like this. It certainly won't be for everyone, but I thought it was fantastic and I'm sure many others will think the same.

This season is getting better and better and I can't wait to see what's in store in the last three episodes.

Granted it's a filler episode and it didn't really add anything to the main story but when all said and done, this is a comedy show. The ultimate goal of this show is to make you laugh and it this episode did just that.

Beard doesn't get much screen, his only contribution prior to this episode have been to act weird in social situations and pointing out obvious details that went over Ted's head. We got to see more of him in this episode and that's a good thing. At least in my opinion.

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.

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.
