TFTD is a great show, but there are certainly a lot of duds. This episode, however, is hands down the best one from the first season. People have called it slow, which I find a little silly, considering the whole episode is barely 20 minutes long.

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The ending has a twist, and I found it strangely satisfying, even though it's not what you would call a happy ending. Danny Aiello is masterful in his performance, and I've caught myself thinking about the episode several weeks later.

I have a complaint about IMDb. Why do you they insist that all reviews be at least 10 lines long? I'm commenting on a 22-minute episode. I think I conveyed everything I wanted to convey in 9 lines. This 10-line minimum is ridiculous. So I guess I'll devote the extra text to degrading the stupidity of IMDb.

My religious road is very similar to Ms. Sweeney's (minus the trips to India and South America), and I was delighted to hear someone echo my very thoughts on the Bible and the life of Jesus.

Ms. Sweeney's testimonial is direct, honest, and moving. She comes across as educated on the topics she is discussing, yet she explains everything in a very clear way. At no point does she sound preachy or pushy. She simply provides her story.

My only criticism is that it's a bit too long. I felt like the monologue could have been more poignant had she broken it up with other types of segments (e.g. interviews with her family members, showing us her childhood church, etc.). The one-woman show is effective, but it felt long (at 2 hr. and 20 min. I believe).

Either way, it's a stirring performance, and I would encourage everyone to watch it.
