White Rock

Not only is it my favorite episode of "Better Things," it is my favorite episode of any show as long as memory serves me. Watching it, I am verklempt. I have no family, and this no memories like this. I treasure this thirty minutes, keep it close to my heart, and revisit it often.

I'm English and so this episode means something special to me. I mean I've loved every episode of Better Things, I really love it all but this episode made me cry. It's a perfect gem with some surprising cameos, the writing is perfect, the direction and editing are just sublime, perfectly paced so the narrative flows smoothly. The mysterious Sad Lady is inspired, so enigmatic and such a perfect device to show Duke's private world. God, I don't want to go on about it and I don't want to dissect such a fabulous piece. It's fantastic and many more people should watch it and love it like I do. That's it.
