Number One

What an episode :O Amazing performance by Justin Hartley - just crazy! Moved me to tears several times. Extremely well written show with, a show for the heart with profound dialogues, just like "Little house on the prairie" and I think this show is becoming one of my favorites <3

Thank you for this great episode.

This episode showed us the broken and vulnerable side of Kevin after all his attempts to appear tough and easygoing! The scene in the football field brought tears to my eyes. Amazing performance by Justin Hartley and an even more amazing job in the writing of the episode!

We've watched Kevin as he has gone to the road to destruction. Every so often we hear about a celebrity who seemingly had everything, taking his or her life. I would call it the Richard Cory syndrome, after the character from the poem. To have that much attention from every angle for your entire life. From the time he walked first to his football career and its end to the Manny. He never seemed to be dismissed, except by his father, but he didn't accept that because he was always forgiven. The scene where he talks at the homecoming event, where he gives credit to accomplished people, saying he doesn't deserve the award, is gut wrenching. He is so high and disintegrating. And, of course, the chain his father gave him, which he loses as he tries to rob a woman's medicine cabinet, is really horrible. And then the flashbacks to the night his knee was destroyed. Incredible television.

The truth behind all the childhood success and pressure. Finally somebody showed it on screen.

This has to be one of the best episodes i have ever seen, no matter what series, Justin Hartley acting in this episode was terrific, every time he talked, every emotion he showed.. Just wow. I started crying at the end when Kevin was crying, but i completely lost it at the revelation at the end, you don't get a better drama series than this.
