CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
Nick's first case comes back to haunt
him when the killer - a promising baseball star - is released after
serving six years for manslaughter. As the new convict decides revenge
is the way to go, Nick must protect himself while uncovering an
uncomfortable truth about his first conviction.

Trivia
 | Andrew Jackson previously guested as the renegade
watcher Palin Wolf in the original series' episode,
B4, 'The Darkness'. He has a
prolific career documented at the imdb, including many other genre
roles. Check out the full list
here. |
 | It would be impossible to claim after watching
this episode that The Raven isn't set in Toronto (where it was
filmed) - you can thank the prominent Maple leaf flag in the Toronto
Blue jays baseball stadium for that fact. |
Verdict
I don't like episodes without (bona fide) flashbacks or other
Immortals. And this one started badly too, but blurred morals and some
strong performances raise it to a reasonable level (my wife thinks
it's the strongest episode in the series so far). B-
