Sue Pearson is banned from Highschool, she approaches Jeff Ryder for help. Her father Ray had an accident at work, the locals think the whole family are radioactive, and a danger to the community.
I really did enjoy this one, it's not a typical crime drama, there's not really any mystery as such, but the overall story is great, and I'd say has a huge relevance in today's world.
Ignorance, panic and fear, Fairview really does become a hotspot for gossip. Though Fairview is clearly somewhere in England, the production team did a fair job making it look American, if you squint perhaps.
I liked the mix of characters, caustic neighbour Norma was maybe the most interesting of the lot, clearly a bored and frustrated housewife that needed a few hobbies.
What a cast though, Warren Mitchell, Ewen Solon and Tucker McGuire were all very good, but look out for a young Steven Berkoff and Oliver Reed. Jess Conrad really did have star written all over him.
Such an interesting story.
8/10.
