s5e11 (1989) - 9/10

1️⃣ Smart teleplay by , for Productions, has multiple storylines in the spotlight.

2️⃣ is simply excellent as an escaped psycho killer. Meanwhile, leads an aggressive vigilante group. Finally, sends undercover in a crime-ridden high school.

3️⃣ The tone is grim/realistic. Action/violence is often kept offscreen. A picture is painted of an entire city under siege from different factions.

Mike Post's songs were a big part of producer Stephen J. Cannell's shows, and Cannell once told us about the unique work relationship the two of them shared. hollywoodoutbreak.com/2022/08/
