Due to the strange rating of this episode I felt compelled to write something here as well, which I usually don't do. I have not played the computer game ever so I can't really speak to the faithfulness of the series to the original material. I can only say that I was so very moved by the story of Bill and Frank. I was not really prepared for this at all and wound up shedding a tear or two. The acting and writing was simply brilliant. Definitely one of the better episodes of television I have seen and one to watch again.

As for the large amount of 1 ratings, it is just sad that people seem to have nothing better to do than rate content on political grounds. Objectively, rating this episode with "1" (as in worst possible) is just ridiculous, even if it doesn't match your taste.

Normally I do not review movies, but in this case, I cannot help myself. It was such an awful experience, one of the most irritating movies I have seen in a long time.

Movies like Suicide Squad are supposed to be fun entertainment, nothing more and nothing less. Here we have such an uninspired mess of a film, with an awful script which is so inherently unfunny, it hurts. There is not one punchline that delivers, not one dialogue that creates even distant engagement to the story, not one character that makes me even superficially care what happens to them. Even fundamental characteristics like special effects are unimpressive at best, amateurish at worst. And I cannot say that I am in any way impressed by the acting, though the film features many big names. I do not believe it is their fault, though.

Today, I have read a review of this movie in a German newspaper which was titled "Better hit your head against the wall for two hours". I cannot say that I disagree.
