Target: The Corruptors: A Man's Castle (1962)
Season 1, Episode 26
8/10
There's quality here.
7 July 2023
A vicious rent collector known as Stick face, causes the death of one of his customers, his employer, slumlord Pebbles is unimpressed by Marino delving into the case.

A Man's Castle is definitely one of the top 5 or so episode of the show. Very original, it plays out like no other episode.

The characters are all impressive, from the family, to Stick Face to the unscrupulous Pebbles. I thought they'd made the family unit a little too 'Waltons' at times, but they definitely serve a purpose.

This has an almost film like quality to it, it is beautifully produced, very well shot, and features some nice music.

I had several points I wanted to make about this episode, but my mind wandered so I'll make this point, you watch shows such as this, and think of many crimes as being a thing of the past, however dodgy, greedy landlords that allow people to live in filth, they really are The Corruptors.

8/10.
