On the Edge
9 February 2017
It's sometimes the last thing we would always think about but it something that can happen to anyone. When it seems all hope is completely lost and there is just no salvation, no where to go but down.

This is my third favorite tale in the show, there isn't much to say it's a simple man on ledge premise which has been done many times on other shows but this was one of the first and still the best.

This mainly comes more to our fear of heights. I really like the cinematography of the episode it really feels like your up there and I remember half the time I was just griping my seat hoping I won't fall off. You almost feel like any moment something or should I say someone is about to drop.

There is this one blackly funny moment and suspenseful at the same time when we see there is this group of idiotic teenagers just goading the guy to jump. And at that moment you can just see the fear in the guy's face as there is one part of him that does but another part that doesn't.

The interplay between both the policeman and the guy is solid as you are constantly hopping the cop will be able to talk the guy out of it, get him to have a change of heart. It's sort of a character drama as we discover details about both parties. For the guy it's understandable on his troubles, the loss he's going though down to discovering a terrible secret like that could push anyone over the edge (no pun intended) it's like everything that held your world together is just gone. I kinda like that we see that the cop's life has troubles of his own. Hearing that just goes to show that the guy isn't alone in the matter because everyone that we pass by is troubled in one way or another, I honestly don't know anyone that isn't; but it's how we deal or get through it that matters and keeps us going on.

Will he or won't he jump, you'll have to wait and see.
