Incredible storytelling, characters, and action. All without being too slow, technical, or boring. I feared after a great first two episodes with pretty amazing and well-pulled-off twists, the show would settle into some mundane "made for TV" Sci-Fi show, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Even though it would appear there is not a lot to work with as far as the world-building and setting, this show does not fail to impress and raise the stakes of the characters.
Brilliant nods to detective and noir genres, let alone monster movies. Full of smart and witty humor, great acting, and self-aware meta-fiction that isn't cloying or brash. Takes an interesting and risk gamble on the plot/premise and pays off handsomely. I'm not a die-hard fan of the series, this one stands alone fairly well and is one of the top 20 must- watch episodes of television ever, in my opinion, just as a work of art if nothing else. That said, it's also genuinely funny and the lead character Dean isn't as eye-rolling dorky-Cassanova as he tends to be in other episodes. His womanizing is, well, let's just say he's kind of cute and earnest this time around.
