This was in my opinion the best episode of the series. Cooper is the best and strongest character in the show and this takes us on an emotional ride deeper than any CSI or Law and Order has in years. You can actually CARE about the character/ He is more than just his job as this episode reveals
his pain both physically and emotionally.
The Parole hearing was the kind of scene rarely
shown in network series. Very emotinally charged.
This series has been too repetitive and racist
(just how many bad ass latino gangs are there in Los Angeles?) but this episode is a step in the right direction of deeper and engaginf character development.
