Warning: Spoilers
It's not often an episode of a series gets over 250 votes, with a near 10 score. The Subway is one of them, and for good reason.

I'm a big fan of Homicide: Life on the Street, and The Subway is very haunting. It's supposedly based on a story from a passenger in Taxicab Confessions, and I really hope the passenger was just making it up.

In this episode Vincent D'Onofrio (excellent in The Player) plays a train passenger who has one of the worst days possible, being pushed into an oncoming subway train by some deranged guy.

James Yoshimura deserves much credit for this episode, being the writer. A PBS documentary charted the creative process of this episode, and is worth watching.
