I can't believe this is the highest-rated MOD SQUAD episode on IMDB. It's okay but it's heavy on sentiment and Xmas spirit more than crime drama or intrigue.
Scroogey Pete ends up being taught the true meaning of Xmas when a little girl is left in his care and her father ends up supposedly killed. There is a lot of religious imagery and praying done in this one, so not sure how well it would be received by modern audiences. I had no problem with that at all. The young actress playing Kristie was not totally cloying either, so that helped.
It's a decent episode, I just don't think it's worthy of being a series' best.
