A little Dickens, the flavor of an O'Henry, Serlingesque in nature, this episode alludes to what might have become of this series. Maybe a little too little, a little too late. It was nice to see a some relief from Dr. Morris' interminable hostility and disdain toward Michael. They really didn't develop their relationship properly right from the start. I know they were going for that antagonistic buddy feel but, they went about it all wrong.
Addendum: The way I rate shows... I don't usually review anything less than a 7 because 6 would be a failing grade and I won't waste my time watching it. I'm old; I don't know how much time I've got left. Since I probably turned it off before getting even halfway through, it wouldn't be fair to rate or review it. 7 is watchable but I may go a while between episodes since, though somewhat entertaining, there are other shows more interesting or compelling. 8 would be a regular in my lineup. 9 is a must see and probably bingeable. 10 is just the epitome of superbity and headed for my all-time favorites list. I'm adding this to my reviews because it seems there are a lot of binary reactions to pretty much everything these days. I am not a like/unlike kind of guy. I see a lot of grays so if I give something a 10 it doesn't mean the only alternative is a 1.
