The Episode Review

Although it may not turn out as planned, however, the effort deserves to be applauded because it’s an innovative mingling of plot and Halloween. The episode is a mix of well-thought-out humor and great dialogue.

Although it isn’t able to be enjoyable, however, it manages to keep us engaged to the very final. There is no doubt that the story could have been constructed more effectively. But, it’s not going to let you down.
