    Excellent underrated TV show
    It could be seen as a kind of poor man's ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS series. An anthology TV show, around crime and providing many twist endings, very well made, though you may have better episodes than others. But it's rare that you get bored with this show. It is quite different than the movie series from the forties. But the big screen short features were however excellent too. B pictures.
