As for the two halfwits claiming it's Racist and inaccurate I'm referring to. Regbeg 194 and Joji 1997
Clearly they not working with a full deck
The Acting was outstanding the Story was educated and the info was indeed accurate agin ignore the halfwits all other reviews are favorable
Onto the review The episode is this
A hate crime leads to a disturbing series of murders that may involve a being from Jewish folklore bent on revenge. I won't give more then that as it is far better to go in with little info
It's a fantastic episode that is a nice change from the Government Conspiracy arc's the show does 10\10 give it a go.
I find myself rather perplexed by the episode's relatively low score, it's one that I'll admit I watched twice, but that's only because I didn't fully digest the plot first time around.
Well worth giving this one a chance, I thought it was an excellent offering. I'll praise Series 4 once again, for delivering such a unique mix and blend of episodes, how on Earth they managed such a broad range is incredible.
The visuals worked incredibly well, and years later the special effects still look good to me.
I understand there will be some feelings about the tone, issues of race etc, but I think they showed the racists and bigots for what they were, cowards.
Hugely impressed me, 9/10.

- TriviaThe communal wedding ring was a real Jewish relic owned by a rabbi who survived the Holocaust. In fact, the rabbi had used it to wed two of writer/producer Howard Gordon's friends.
- GoofsJacob Weiss is said to have belonged to Irgun ("Jewish Military Underground") and been arrested for terrorism by the British in 1959. However, the British pulled out of Israel when it became a recognized state in 1948, and Irgun was dissolved because there was now no motivation for it to exist. It would make no sense for an Israeli to have been arrested by the British in Israel in 1959. (Unless we are supposed to believe that he was carrying out terrorist acts in the UK and arrested there - but that is not suggested and would have little historical resonance in any case.)
