In my opinion, Ep. 1 contains both the best and the worst parts of the PT. But overall, yes, definitely the most watchable of the three. I think that's due in part to the fact that Ep. 1 actually feels a little tiny bit like there was some emotional involvement. Ep. 2-3 both feel cold, lifeless, shallow, and mass-produced.
Also, Alphabetty, I'd like to request some clarification if I may. So apparently it's classy to use swear words as long as you asterisk out one of the letters, thus mitigating the "offensiveness," but it's redneck and vulgar to actually spell the swear words out? If I have understood you rightly, then please respond and explain by what twisted use of logic you arrived at this brilliant* conclusion.
