Season 3, Episode 22
7/10
Junior is a jerk
16 March 2016
Steven Hill plays Joseph December Jr., a man who is running his family's railroad. However, the railroad's fallen on hard times and December decides to work with the mob transporting alcohol on his trains. Now normally when 'normal' folks get tied up with the mob, they end up being pushed around and getting in over their head. But December is different...he's ready to do some pushing around and this well-educated and cultured guy seems in his element when it comes to mob activities. Along the way, a letter to Al Capone comes into his possession and folks all around him start having 'accidents'. Can December manage to survive when he gets on the bad side of Pete Kalmisky (Simon Oakland)?

This is a decent but generally unremarkable episode. Hill and Oakland were just fine but the show itself was not especially memorable. Not bad...but just not all that good.
