It probably helps that DirectTV, and not NBC, is producing the show now, and that this episode is only available to DirectTV subscribers. Still, FNL is in top form in season four, delving head first into issues of race, gender, institutions and structure (state services or lack thereof), community, crime, policy and, with hope, sexuality. Some episodes are even feeling Wire-esque, only confirming its place as one of the best shows of the decade.
