"Death of a Cop" is well written and acted, though the ending was a bit heavy-handed. It is unusual because the episode really doesn't feel like "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour" at all, but more like a cop show.
When the episode begins, you learn that an old-time cop, Detective Paul Reardon (Victor Jory) is very proud now that his son has also become a detective. However, this eager new cop is soon murdered by some local scum....and Paul spends the rest of the episode trying to bring the killers to justice.
The best thing about the show is the acting. Jory and Richard Jaeckel are both exceptional. The writing is good...not great. The ending in particular wasn't handled well with a cast member explaining the ending to the audience...which wasn't necessary and seemed poorly handled. Still worth seeing...but a most atypical episode.
