Local man Ed is found dead, number one suspect is young Matthew, a talented young musician, that Ed had issue with. Matthew is placed in jail for his own safety as an angry mob assembles, demanding Sheriff Cox release him into their custody.
I don't care a great deal for this episode if I'm honest, I don't like the storyline a great deal and I don't particularly like the flavour of it. Racism is vile subject, and it's very prominent here. The mob are a little to obvious, a bunch of rednecks yee haa-ing all over the place. It's a story I don't really buy into.
I suppose a fairly good attempt at creating tension, and through Jessica you feel a sense of danger. The only real saving grace is the performance of Dorian Harewood, as Sheriff Cox, I thought he was excellent.
The show is at its best when its light and intriguing, this one is sadly neither. 5/10
