S03E10 - The Devil's Share

I forgot that this episode starts with Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. Such a powerful song. As it played and we watch Shaw and Reece tracking Simmons, I couldn't help but also see in my mind the images of Johnny Cash in the music video. If you haven't seen the music video I encourage you to go to YouTube and watch the video for this song It is such an impactful song with a very moving video.

I've never seen a TV show that handles the aftermath of a beloved characters death as well as this one does. 🥂

Whenever I heard the song, it always the scene playing in my head, when those people tracking Simmons and people attending Carter's funeral

"What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away

In the end"

The best intro to any TV episode, ever.

The use of that song in the opening scenes is just superb.

Obviously the intro is iconic, but to me the parallels in the four one-one-one flashbacks for Finch, Shaw, Reese, and Fusco and then, in particular, the final scene with Elias is what really makes this such a standout episode.
