Yeah, so my 10/10 review is probably a bit bombastic. I'll be the first to admit.
But given the vintage of this episode and how incredibly well it is standing the test of time (irony?) I feel it deserves it.
Gene grandstanding, Sam smug as sin and a surprisingly unsatisfactory and anticlimactic comeuppance for someone on the team.
Tight writing, plenty of tension and the plot moves forwards (and upwards towards the superintendents for the first time.)
All in all, superb, intelligent television.
