#TalesFromTheCrypt s2e12 (1990) - 8/10

1️⃣ The show’s quirky/dark humour can be hit-and-miss. But this is a story where the comedy is necessary to make it work.

2️⃣ #MosesGunn (#FatherMurphy) is excellent as a cheapskate funeral director. His shocking cruelty towards his nephew is only palatable because the dialogue is humourous.

3️⃣ The climax is genuinely scary.

#MikeHammer s2e7 (1984) - 6/10
Straightforward; enjoyable.

1️⃣ A buddy of Hammer’s is killed at the airport while carrying diamonds into the country, leaving our hero with three key suspects. There are a couple of gun battles, no major twists/surprises, and it all hangs together pretty well.

2️⃣ #KatherineCannon (#FatherMurphy, #BeverlyHills90210) guests.

3️⃣ 4th writing credit (of 11) on the show for #BWSandefur, who became a producer for the third season.
