A Great episode but highly controversial in 2021
travelgoer30 October 2021
I have currently been watching all episodes of Cagney and Lacey on the Start TV channel and enjoying them. First time they aired on CBS I was a bit more involved in being a teenager and college student so missed most of the series. This episode is probably one of the best I have viewed although highly controversial now and probably why Start TV completely omitted it from their schedule. It deals with the same things we are handling today but quite blatant with slang terms used which are pretty much absent from network and cable tv these days. Carl Lumbly who plays detective Petrie probably has one of the best episodes here in the entire series. The ending was depressing but all too realistic then and now almost 35 years later.
