Since I stumbled upon an episode of season 3 last December I always wanted to begin this show and I finally did it three days ago. And I think that this was a decent introduction for anyone interested in the show nowadays.
An electrician (William Sadler) works as an executioner in prison. He explains the various crimes for which the prisoners were executed and even makes fun of their reasons. One day is announced that the death penalty is abolished and so he is without a job. So, he has an idea: working as a freelancing vigilante executioning with electrocution the criminals who are considered not guilty by the court, up until the death penalty becomes again legal...
William Sadler gives a remarkable performance as usual and he also narrates the episode like a detective in an old film-noir. The dark humour was spot on and the direction was nice. What's best was the Crypt Keeper's comment at the end of the episode!
