Anybody watch this? It's astounding. Laurie Metcalfs monologue in episode 3 was one of the most amazingly acted and crafted pieces of tv I've seen for a long while. Recommend it highly. But NO SPOI...

Only young Marshall's sincerely believable turn as Pete rings true, in part because of his scenes with Elliot, but also because he plays it mostly straight for the most part.
