Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Lou Solverson (Patrick Wilson) gets out of his police car in front of the butcher shop, the Mike Zoss Pharmacy is seen across the street; this was also the name of the pharmacy where Chigurh blows up the car in No Country for Old Men (2007), noted in trivia for that film as a tribute to the Coen brothers' (Joel Coen & Ethan Coen) childhood hangout Mike Zoss Drugs, and also the namesake of their production company Mike Zoss Productions.
- GoofsWhen Lou Solverson and Hank Larsson are swapping war stories on the steps of the diner, Lou tells of his witnessing the combat death of a comrade while on a patrol boat in what is presumably Vietnam in 1974. Most US ground/sea forces were withdrawn after the ceasefire in 1973. Any remaining personnel would not have been witness to, or involved in, any combat situations by 1974.
- Quotes
Mike Milligan: And isn't that a minor miracle? The state of the world today and the level of conflict and misunderstanding, that two men could stand on a lonely road in winter and talk calmly and rationally... while all around them, people are losing their mind.

Featured review
An air of foreboding
'Before the Law' adds tension to the mix, but only at a simmering heat; just enough to lend a real sense of dread. It's as if the show's taking a breath after the fantastic opener to stop piling on new characters and deepen the larger story. No surprise here, that's how this show operates.
What's surprising (a little) - ends up walking away with this one; in one scene using a typewriter to interrogate a guy and in another, he's very politely threatening Ted Danson's sheriff. I hope his character lasts because I like him.
7/10
