First Netflix that needs to add back the social media aspect of reviewing titles

Having said that this particular episode is crazy. Main focus of this episode beyond the fact that our protagonist seems to be in hot water with everybody is the principle of a local school has some unseemly ideas about how to discipline children and the general position is stop. I don't care how many teachers say he's just doing it because he's a good guy or how many parents say no big deal, if even ONE parent says it is a big deal it needs to stop! If the FBI comes in and tells you to stop it REALLY TRULY needs to stop.

I was in elementary school during the period covered here and even then that behavior would have just been too creepy for words. But truly the bottom line is if you are working for a company and they ask you to stop doing something, and their customers request that you stop doing something, if you don't stop doing it you're gonna be fired. Whether it's an oil company or a school, that is a reasonable outcome to expect. Of course film school 101 tells us that this guy is going to evolve into something far worse but just on the off chance that he doesn't does not validate him at all.

Stubborn pride should not interfere with your paycheck

Trivia

Goofs
In the teacher's lounge, you can see the date "April 3, 1978" on the chalkboard. Later in the episode, Will asks Holden what the interviewee is listening to. Holden replies "Bittaker and Norris". Referencing the killers Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris. These men killed five teenagers in the time span of June 24, 1979, to October 31, 1979. Making it impossible for them to have tapes on the killers.

Debbie Mitford: Your suit is your uniform you wear to fit in at Quantico.
Holden Ford: I don't want to fit in.
Debbie Mitford: Everyone is trying to fit in.
Holden Ford: Guess that explains your hippie thing, too.
Debbie Mitford: My "hippie" thing?

Debbie Mitford: Right. It's exactly the same.
Holden Ford: What would you wear if no one were looking?
Debbie Mitford: Probably nothing. What about you?
Holden Ford: I'd wear my suit.
