#79. Law & Order (1994), `"Sanctuary"

In this week's episode our hosts review #79 on TV Guide's Top 100 Episodes of Television, Law & Order's, "Sanctuary," the show dives deep into the turbulent waters of racial tension and justice in New York City. The episode opens with the death of young black boy in Harlem by a Jewish driver who alleges he was too scared to stop. Tension rules this episode and if you've never seen this episode or if it;s been a while since you've seen it, we encourage you to stop now, watch, and then hit play.

Ultimately, "Sanctuary" stands out not just for its gripping narrative but for its fearless approach to difficult subject matter. It doesn't offer easy answers but instead encourages viewers to engage in critical reflection and dialogue. The episode is a testament to Law & Order's legacy of tackling real-world issues head-on, making it a piece of television history worth discussing and revisiting.

This is absolutely a must see, and absolutely should be on this list!
