Strong Entry
18 December 2012 | by (Claremont,USA) – See all my reviews

Sam (Joslyn) is one mean dude who uses his wife Hester as a punching bag. But she's like a whipped dog afraid to complain. So when Matt tries to persuade her to sign a complaint, she's too scared; plus she holds on to the futile hope that maybe he'll change. Then after one particularly vicious beating, she signs the complaint and Matt throws the bad guy in jail. But that's not the end of things.

Strong entry with somber, thoughtful ending that did so much to distinguish the series. The Meston-Cruthcfield team was an excellent one. The premise here strikes me as Meston's typical concern for women on the prairie. Also, catch Chester's recipe for liver soup—it's a hoot. However, the staging of the shootout in the barn is awkward to say the least—having Matt stand out in the open while Sam shoots at him from behind cover. I know Matt's unflappable, but he's not stupid.
