I really disliked "Jonathan", an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". The problem is that the story is told in the most detached and talky manner possible and it essentially consists of two people talking during the bulk of the episode. Had the style been different, I might have loved the episode.
When the story begins, a young and incredibly annoying guy comes back for his father's funeral. When his step-mother comes to talk, he berates her and treats her like garbage...and sulks like a major jerk-face. Much more happens, but apart from a flashback or two, it's mostly the young guy sulking and acting like a jerk-face.
This is the talkiest episode of the series I have seen. It simply presents the story in a passive and detached manner and all the suspense and tensions seems to have been sucked out of it.
