I guess I liked the concepts they juggled with in this episode that hinted at what’s going on with Sam. The sci-fi type stuff. It was unique. The crime itself was boilerplate, so I wouldn’t rate it super-highly, but apparently I did enjoy this one more than you, Steve.

I found the relationships interesting and liked that it was firmly set in its time period. Of course, I missed the last two episodes, so it isn’t feeling like old hat to me, yet.

I have been surprised in many ways by this show, and I think my next review will discuss patterns and trends in LOM, including the unevenness of the episodes.

The mother episode was quite good, I thought. So was the pilot.

But this white cop/black cop buddy movie episode really made me cringe–I don’t know if that’s my cold, dark, hard cynical heart talking or just high expectations.

I must be terribly uncynical, because I actually liked that episode! Just wait until TVZ 63 …
