A Lesson to Learn
28 November 2020
This episode should be required viewing for everyone studying history. In this episode we see exactly what can happen when fear is allowed to cloud judgement. This has been a recurring theme throughout history, the Salem Witch hunts, the McCarthy hearings, and too many more times to count.

I think people can learn from fiction, oftentimes more effectively than through documentaries.

The acting in this episode was great. My wife and I recently rewatched this episode. We had both forgotten how much we each grew to hate the character played by Jean Simmons. It takes a great talent pull that kind of emotion from an audience.
