This is one of the only episodes I found difficult to watch because the cringe level was set to 100. But this is one of the best examples of Michael Scott having to deal with the repercussions of his past actions in a way that only Michael Scott can. It reminded more of how the UK version of the Office was to watch, but not to the same degree because their version of cringe was painful and constant. Having episodes like this every now and again just grounds Michael more as a character we love but also would hate to know in real life. I only docked a point because I felt like they could have given some more comic relief in the secondary plot back in the actual office. But overall, this is a great episode to re-watch in the context of the series as a whole.

I am a meat-eater, but making concsious steps to reduce my meat consumption - mainly to reduce my environmental impact and after watching animal cruelty documentaries.

This 'documentary' was absolutely terrible - the main narrator had an annoying tone, which wasn't great to start with. It was badly paced and the points were all over the place. There was no flow or narrative that made sense. The 'experts' brought in were hardly leaders in the fields. There was also a distinct lack of balance and there was such a biased approach towards the brands that make faux-meat, that it came across as pro-meat show that condemns eating fruit/vegetables.

I finished this show just to write this review and am just aghast that it was ever commissioned. The fact they compare vegetarianism/veganism to Scientology cult-like behavior should be enough to deter you. As a meat-eater, I am embarrassed that this is the best attempt to put people off a lifestyle to reduce meat intake.

Great follow up to the premiere and it was good to see Dexter back on form. Well, I saw 'on form', but I had a couple of gripes with his apparent sloppiness with the kill in the prior episode. No spoilers, but you would have thought he would not have been so careless, right up to the final reveal of the episode. I was also a bit miffed we don't get a proper intro song to the episode. Yes, the original would not be appropriate, but something to mirror that tongue-in-cheek intro would have been better than a two second 'DEXTER:NEW BLOOD' in ice and the episode title hidden in the screen.

I have been impressed so far, but just hope things get a bit more tidy for Dexter. And please bring an intro song!
