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.
This episode went in a totally different direction than the other episodes, but I enjoyed it
Finally back to some comedy
Too much drama and emotion was honestly getting a little old This episode was cool Following beard around for a wild night
Don't let the negative Nancy's persuade you otherwise.

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.

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.
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.

Mary: I'm sure you know that your trousers are ripped.
Coach Beard: They're designed that way. To make it easier for people to kiss my ass.
