Even today this would be a hard pitch
 

Wow, very heavy and dark episode. Firstly, on the Blu ray you can see the creases in the curtain that the back drop is painted on during the scene of the hanging.

Secondly this is powerful stuff, and usually the tone of the episode is very much about everyone except one man feeling awful at the death of of a child as well as not really wanting the execution of the child's killer.

Strangely the only thing strange about this episode is that it isn't that strange.
