This was one of the more touching and memorable episodes of the series. I love Highway to Heaven and can pretty much watch any of the episodes at any time, but I take the time to watch this one when I come across it. Sure, the main antagonist is a bit over-the-top, but it was in contrast to the mild manner of the man. The Hawaiian singing at the end was hauntingly beautiful too. One of my favorites.
I really enjoyed this episode, as I do anything that Mr. Spielberg acted in. He was an unassuming yet inspirational local politician. This story was in the typical Michael Landon format with the uncertainty ironed out at the end. That's what made his so successful with his last two series. The only problem with this episode was Ken Kercheval. While he played the "evil" role well, his acting was marred by the fact he seemed to be under the influence while filming. He was the same way at times while on Dallas, so perhaps it was his acting style, but his facial expressions seemed to be that of someone who was drunk but yet wanted to maintain their composure. That just might be my imagination, but either way, it detracted attention away from the storyline either way.
If you like hearing the F-word twice a sentence, this show is for you. I was turned off by it in the first episode. It's a sign of laziness to depend on the F-word 100 times an episode to display emotion. There wasn't anything in the show that made me want to come back to watch anything beyond episode two. It is a stereotyped show dealing with things in other shows with overacted stereotyped characters who are annoying. And the CONSTANT F-word makes it almost unbearable to watch. The one positive is Carla Gugino. She gets to display her acting chops portraying so many different personalities. She is by far the best thing about the show. Since I need more characters, I will repeat...
