Reviews (2)
An unforgettable cameo by Metallica; the compulsion to do something that could brutally backfire and the strength not to do it in the finale – all depicted in an excellent, almost "from life" realistic way.

The pace felt sluggish compared to the previous episode. While the plot wasn't uninteresting, it seemed stretched thin. The creators tried to juggle too many storylines, giving each one too little attention, making the episode feel inconsistent. Metallica was a highlight, but it's clear that James Hetfield should stick to music and leave the acting to others.
