Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Mitch and Hannah walk along the Vegas strip, passers-by can be seen trying to interact with Mitch. Per Gugu Mbatha-Raw, this was 100 percent unscripted. The Strip had not been blocked off prior to shooting, so people eagerly seized the opportunity for a little face time with Steve Carell. Since MITCH happens to be extremely famous (and well-liked, at least at that point) in-universe, Carell just went with it.
- GoofsWhen they bring out Mitch's cake with the roman candles and he is talking, the number of still burning candles changes with each shot, going from two, to four, and back to two.

Featured review
Thought provoking
As a viewer, at first I didn't like the fact that the episode focused entirely on the the past, without moving the plot forward whatsoever, but holy crap was this a great episode.
I'm now hooked and will look forward to watching the rest of the show.
- Great acting.
- Great story line that covers a difficult topic in a (chillingly) realistic way.
- Great characters that are neither perfectly virtuous nor evil. You empathize with all the characters, even the "bad" ones.
- Thought provoking, both while watching and after watching. You know the series is doing something right when you're still digesting the intricacies of the episode days later. I was particularly really impressed by how much this episode had to show about each character, and how those things change the way you saw them until then.
I'm now hooked and will look forward to watching the rest of the show.
