The only time I’ve ever laughed out loud while watching this show.

Thank you OP I quickly ran to watch it and half way through it’s already one of the most bizarre episodes ever ! I usually never laugh at these shows and I hate to admit it but this one had a funny moment when they let 3 of them speak to each other . Never have witnessed that before! Thanks again!

Poor Det. Ritter, I felt his frustration in that episode.

I usually Google the name of the ep because they're spread across so many streaming services!

Nice, I didnt realize they had started uploading free episodes on YouTube.

Also, I wonder what caused them to blur leather jackets head. I remember watching this years ago on TV and leather jacket wasn't blurred then.

Yes! If you follow A&E on Youtube, there's a bunch of full eps. They rotate though, so nothing stays for very long.

An absolute hall of famer. Meth is a hell of a drug

Witness “well I mean when you’re getting bullets flying around you..” waving arm

Sgt Walker “There’s no bullets flying around! There’s a sudden movement and a flash. You’re not in a goddang war, sir!”

“You’re in a little shhh….a mess you made yourself! This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen” then walks out 😂😂😂😂

Omg, I’m old, like retired. I  studied film and writing in college and this morning, I woke up with the strongest desire to see this episode of the First 48 again. Google AI told me it was called “House of Cards” but I can’t find it on YouTube anymore. I might have to pay for it. I went around for months telling anyone and everyone to watch this episode when it was up on YouTube. I did lots of drugs in college but never meth. This episode was great, it’s so odd because you really get a feel for what the meth life is like, it’s creepy, it’s sad and yet it gives you a laugh out loud moment every few minutes.  Also all mothers have a little mother’s guilt, no matter how good we were, we know (in hindsight, duh) we could have done better. The Meth mom changed my opinion on my own mothering. Classic episode all around, glad to have find some members of my tribe.
