What you have been waiting for.

There are two things that stand out in this episode. First is the brilliant and award winning performance of Meat Loaf. To say he outperformed every actor is an understatement. This was his episode, and he owned it. Second, is the obvious change of director. Unlike previous episodes the director centered the camera in the action, and most importantly move the camera and the viewer into the action. The camera is placed in such a position that we can clearly see the actors deliver their performance. If this director had been on set for the previous episodes, then the series would be doing far better.

The story provides a strong story for those that love ghost stories, and family stories. We get a strong look into Meat Loafs character. We see the turning point in Romans desire to stay outside of the community as Meat Loafs character, while being true to the character, is redeemed in a way. More importantly, the viewer now fully understands who the character is. If you are a person who walked away from the show, or know someone who has walked away, this is the episode to share with them.

I'm usually not lavish with my ratings but this gets a 9 almost solely because of Meat Loafs' performance. Breathtaking. He had me on the verge of tears for a couple of moments and just to put that in perspective, the only other movie which had me do that was 'The Elephantman'.

Brilliant Performance by Meat Loaf!!!!!!

The series so far has not been great, but good enough to keep watching. Hopefully, this episode is the turning point. It is by far the best of the first five episodes. The whole cast does a great job, but seriously, you have got to watch this episode for the incredible performance by Meat Loaf Aday. WOW! What a gut wrenching yet sympathetic portrayal of a tortured and bitter man. If the show was on a major network he would be a shoo-in for an Emmy nomination. Here's hoping he gets the recognition he deserves.
