This is theory is a football show. A football show.
How in god's name does it have the right to commentate so eloquently on the intricacies of life? The character work in this show, and in this episode is a powerhouse story writing performance, there is not a line that is wasted.
There's so many call backs, the use of never gonna give you up is EXACTLY, how you use a song that's overplayed, use it in a new way. It's just genius.

The cinematography of the eulogy which focus pulls to different characters as the eulogy resonates with each one. It allows us, the audience to connect the dots. No hand held exposition, it's there if you wanna find it, glorious.
I was laughing, I was crying, I was laughing because I was crying and I was crying because I was laughing.
This is such a breath of fresh air. I just want to watch, and watch and watch. The new benchmark for television, in my opinion.
