@@travisvanalst4698 I'm sure there are others that have better production or whatever. I see him, independent, doing this on his own with a static camera, and I get lost in the characters and forget that it's just him. Each character is unique and nuanced and he does an amazing job. I'm sure there are others that may do it better or have better production, but I think Tom deserves his flowers for how well he crafts and adapts his stories, characters, and scripts on a week to week basis.

Agreed, it's really good work. Especially this one. I have a good relationship with my dad, but a terrible one with my older brother and it is always hard to have one with family. This was surprisingly emotional, and well delivered.
