Episode: OVER THE EDGE (1979)
Description:
Episode 48: We go one fucking hour on Jonathan Kaplan's supremely authentic portrait of late '70s teenage rebellion in the dawn of American's sterile suburban frontier. Set in the town of New Granada, material-obsessed baby boomer parents and authority figures clash with the local youth which erupts into an all out war precipitated by the murder of local dirtbag hero Richie, played to perfection by a 14 year-old Matt Dillon.
