If one were to watch only one episode of Becker, this would be the one. I have seen this one several times, and each time it is amazing. Great acting and well written. Danson does a great job of staying within the character of Becker while taking him to the place where the stereotypical character sheds like an onion to the inner core where he is empathetic. And the empathy occurs even though he could have easily chosen to just be part of the busy herd of people running from place to place and struggling with time pressures. Frances Sternhagen is fantastic as well, and said we just lost her in November of 2023. Frances does a great convincing job of being lost and finally breaking down. Kudos to the writers. Television does not get better than this.
