RESCUE ME - Season 3.4 - SPARKS

Episode ends with Denis screwing his ex-wife partly in revenge for his brother being with her.  That scene points out what makes this show so great.  It's about human dysfuntion at its best.  This is a deeply flawed guy that's so screwed up he would beat his brother within an inch of his life and then go out and freeze his sperm so he can bring perpetuate the family name.

That scene is about rape, anger, frustration, sex, love, forgiveness, self-revulsion, new beginnings and closure all at the same time.  You want to talk about complexities, it doesn't come any deeper than that.

Series is a standout on tv.
