An evil sociopath came to Gibsons, but it wasn’t who the police force initially suspected. Murder in a Small Town Season 1 Episode 6 was the first installment not based on one of L. R.
Wright’s novels. It was one of the more graphic and twisted episodes, and that wasn’t exactly a compliment. I was initially looking forward to this one based on the promo and the spoilers, but I felt let down after this one.
The only part I truly enjoyed was the series didn’t sweep Cassandra’s abduction under the rug. She was given time to process it accordingly. The Sociopath Murderer Coming to Gibsons Seemed Intriguing Initially Shane Sloan seemed like a violent murderer.
In the opening scene, he attacked a politician, Murray Zuckerman (stunt performer Douglas Chapman). That almost seemed like a tired storyline since many politicians have secrets, but Zuckerman pleaded with him because he loved his wife. It didn’t seem like a random murder as Shane beat him with a tire iron and wrapped a bag around his head.
It felt personal. Most sociopaths kill to kill with no agenda and no remorse. When a dumb hitchhiker, Daryl Newton, picked up Shane, I worried for his life.
However, Shane seemed like a different person. His people skills needed some work, and he stole Daryl’s phone, but it almost looked like they were two guys on a road trip, hanging out. It made you wonder if he did have a borderline personality disorder or if Dr.
Lewis was wrong about him. Shane’s scenes kept us on the .
